Blood tests play a crucial role when it comes to monitoring your health and diagnosing potential medical conditions. One such test that provides valuable insights into your overall well-being is the Full Blood Count (FBC) blood test.
We provide a full blood count as part of our popular Silver Blood Profile. At just £59, it is great value and provides all relevant information about your full blood count and much more. After all, knowing you have a clean bill of health is priceless.
A Full Blood Count (FBC) test, also known as a Complete Blood Count (CBC), is a common blood test that assesses the three main types of blood cells: red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets.
This test provides valuable information about various health conditions, including anemia, infections, and certain blood disorders. If your doctor has recommended a full blood count, or if you have questions about your health, please call us today or book online, and let us assist you.
Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count: This parameter measures the number of red blood cells in a given volume of blood. It helps determine if there is a deficiency or excess of RBCs, which may indicate conditions such as anaemia or polycythaemia.
Haemoglobin (Hb) Levels: Haemoglobin is the protein in RBCs responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Haemoglobin levels help evaluate oxygen-carrying capacity and can indicate aneamia or other blood disorders.
Haematocrit (Hct) Levels: Haematocrit measures the percentage of the blood volume occupied by red blood cells. Abnormal levels may indicate dehydration, anaemia, or other underlying conditions.
White Blood Cell (WBC) Count: WBCs are crucial for our immune system and help fight off infections. A WBC count determines the number of white blood cells in a given volume of blood, aiding in the diagnosis of infections, autoimmune disorders, or leukaemia.
Platelet Count: Platelets are responsible for blood clotting, preventing excessive bleeding. Platelet counts help assess the risk of bleeding or clotting disorders.
Understanding full blood count test results requires the expertise of a healthcare professional. They will consider various factors such as your age, gender, medical history, and symptoms. Here are a few general full blood count blood result interpretations:

The full blood count aspect of the Silver Blood Profile does not require fasting, however you should be well hydrated. You should only fast if you want an accurate result on your blood sugar and triglycerides level, which are both part of the silver blood profile.
A healthcare assistant or nurse will be responsible for performing the blood collection procedure from you. This process involves carefully locating a suitable vein, typically on your arm, and using a needle to draw a specific amount of blood needed for testing.
Your test results will be promptly delivered to you via email within a timeframe of approximately 12 hours. This efficient delivery ensures that you receive timely access to crucial health information, allowing you and your healthcare provider to proceed with necessary actions.
