What is a Haemogram (Advanced)?
A haemogram (advanced) is a comprehensive blood test that provides detailed information about your blood cells and helps detect inflammation in your body. This enhanced version of a standard Complete Blood Count (CBC) includes an ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test for a more complete picture of your health.
It helps doctors detect and diagnose conditions like anaemia, infections, inflammatory diseases, bleeding disorders, and certain high-risk blood cancers. The test uses a blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm.
What Does the Haemogram (Advanced) Measure?
• Red Blood Cell Assessment - Measures RBC count, haemoglobin levels, haematocrit, and red cell indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC) to detect anaemia and assess oxygen-carrying capacity.
• White Blood Cell Evaluation - Counts total WBCs and provides a differential count of five WBC types to identify infections and immune system function.
• Platelet Analysis - Measures platelet count and characteristics to assess blood clotting ability.
• Inflammation Detection - ESR measurement helps identify inflammatory conditions in your body.
• Blood Cell Distribution - Evaluates cell size variations and morphology for a comprehensive blood health assessment.
Haemogram (Advanced): Who Needs It and Why It's Done
What Symptoms May Call for a Haemogram (Advanced)?
Your doctor may recommend this test if you experience any of these symptoms:
• Unexplained fatigue, weakness, or lethargy
• Fever, body aches, and signs of infection
• Unusual bruising or bleeding
• Dizziness or shortness of breath
• Joint inflammation, swelling, or pain
• Unexplained weight loss
Who should get a Haemogram (Advanced)?
This test benefits various groups of people:
• Symptomatic individuals experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, fever, body aches or shortness of breath
• Routine health monitoring as part of an annual full-body checkup or preventive screenings
• High-risk patients with a family history of blood disorders like thalassaemia or sickle cell anaemia
• Chronic disease patients requiring regular monitoring of the kidney, liver, heart, or autoimmune conditions
• Pre-surgical candidates needing blood count assessment before procedures
• Patients on medications that may affect blood cell counts, such as chemotherapy
Why is a Haemogram (Advanced) done?
A haemogram (advanced) test serves as a powerful screening tool that provides comprehensive blood health information from a single sample. This helps doctors diagnose diseases, monitor treatment progress, and assess overall health status.
Importance of Haemogram (Advanced)
The haemogram (advanced) test is clinically significant as it serves as a first-line diagnostic tool in healthcare. Its comprehensive nature allows doctors to quickly identify potential health issues and guide further testing when needed.
For diagnosis, the test provides early indicators of serious conditions - low haemoglobin suggests anaemia, elevated white cell counts indicate infections, and abnormal cell patterns may signal blood cancers.
For ongoing care, it's invaluable for monitoring chronic conditions and treatment effectiveness, such as tracking inflammation levels during arthritis treatment or ensuring chemotherapy isn't adversely affecting blood cell production.

Conditions that May Affect Haemogram (Advanced) Accuracy
Several factors can influence your haemogram (advanced) results and should be discussed with your doctor:
• Dehydration can concentrate blood components, falsely elevating red blood cell counts and haemoglobin levels
• Certain medications, including antibiotics, blood thinners, and chemotherapy drugs, may affect blood cell counts
• Recent infections or illnesses can temporarily alter white blood cell counts and ESR levels
• Pregnancy naturally affects blood cell counts and should be mentioned to your doctor
• Smoking and alcohol consumption can impact various blood parameters
• Recent blood transfusions or blood donations may affect red blood cell values
How is a Haemogram (Advanced) Done?
The test involves a simple blood collection procedure performed by trained professionals:
• A tourniquet is placed around your upper arm to make the veins more visible
• The puncture site on your arm is cleaned with an antiseptic solution
• A sterile needle is inserted into a vein, usually in the inner elbow area
• Blood is collected into EDTA tubes to prevent clotting during analysis
• The needle is removed, and pressure is applied to stop any bleeding
• Your sample is labelled and sent to the pathology lab for automated analysis

Preparing for your haemogram (advanced) is straightforward with minimal requirements:
• No fasting required - You can eat and drink normally before the test
• Continue regular medications unless specifically advised otherwise by your doctor
• Stay well-hydrated by drinking adequate water before your test
• Inform your doctor about all medications, vitamins, and supplements you're taking
• Wear comfortable clothing - Wear clothes with sleeves that can be easily rolled up for blood collection

Yes, dehydration can concentrate your blood, potentially leading to falsely elevated red blood cell counts, haemoglobin, and haematocrit values. It's important to stay adequately hydrated before your test.
No special dietary preparations are needed. Continue taking your regular medications, but inform your doctor and laboratory about all medicines, vitamins, and supplements you're currently using.
A phlebotomist cleans your arm, applies a tourniquet, inserts a sterile needle into a vein, collects blood in appropriate tubes, removes the needle, and applies pressure to stop bleeding.
