Diagnostic Focus

What is a Full Blood Count (FBC)?

A Full Blood Count is one of the most common and vital health screening tests available. It thoroughly evaluates your red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. By checking these essential markers, a Full Blood Count gives you and your healthcare provider a clear, accurate picture of how your immune system and overall blood health are performing.

Detect Anaemia & Deficiencies

This routine check is highly effective at detecting:

  • Anaemia and iron deficiencies
  • Causes of unexplained fatigue
  • Vitamin B12 or folate shortages
  • General red blood cell health

Infection & Inflammation

The panel evaluates white blood cells to find:

  • Bacterial or viral infections
  • Internal systemic inflammation
  • Allergic reactions or asthma triggers
  • Immune system performance

Clotting & Blood Health

This profile also checks platelet levels for:

  • Healthy blood clotting function
  • General haematological disorders
  • Causes of excessive bruising
  • Overall bone marrow function

Most Searched Online Questions About Full Blood Counts

Can a full blood count detect cancer?
While an FBC cannot diagnose cancer on its own, it can reveal abnormalities in cell counts that might prompt a doctor to investigate further for conditions like leukaemia or lymphoma.
Why does my doctor want to check my MCV?
MCV measures the average size of your red blood cells. Very large cells might indicate a B12 or folate deficiency, while unusually small cells can point to iron deficiency anaemia.
Will this test show if I am lacking vitamins?
An FBC can heavily suggest deficiencies based on how your red blood cells look and function, but specific vitamin blood tests are usually required for a final diagnosis.
