Frequently asked questions

Do I need to fast for a CBC?

Usually not. Fasting applies only if other tests on the same sample need it. Your booking shows the exact instruction.

What is the difference between a CBC and a full blood count?

They are the same test. Full blood count is the name used in the UK.

Can a CBC show anaemia?

It measures haemoglobin and red cell size, which help your doctor look for anaemia. Your doctor decides the cause and any further tests.
