Complete Blood Count (CBC) in Tirupati
A Complete Blood Count (CBC) measures red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is the most common and vital blood test to detect infections, viral fevers like dengue, anaemia, and immune responses. At Nareddy Care in Tirupati, CBC tests are processed in our on-site lab with same-visit reports reviewed directly by our doctors.
What do CBC results mean?
A drop in platelets (< 1.5 Lakhs) is common in dengue and viral fevers, requiring regular daily monitoring. High WBC indicates bacterial infection, while low haemoglobin confirms anaemia.
Who should get an CBC test?
- Anyone with persistent fever, body pain, chills, or headache
- Suspected dengue fever needing daily platelet tracking
- Patients with unexplained tiredness, pale skin, or breathlessness (anaemia)
- Children and adults before minor surgeries or routine wellness checkups
How to prepare
No fasting is needed for a CBC test. You can eat and drink normally before giving your sample. Drink plenty of water so your veins are easy to draw from.
Questions people ask
How quickly do I get CBC results at Nareddy Care?
Because our automated hematology analyzer is located directly inside the clinic, CBC results are ready within 30 to 60 minutes.
How often should platelets be checked in dengue?
In confirmed or suspected dengue, platelets are usually checked every 24 hours during the critical fever phase (days 3 to 7) to monitor for sudden drops.
Can a CBC detect blood cancer or severe infections?
Yes. Significant abnormalities in white blood cells, atypical cells, or severe multi-cell drops trigger urgent microscopic smear examination by our specialists.
