Abnormal RDW<\/strong><\/p>\nLow RDW may indicate uniformity in the size of Red blood cells.<\/p>\n
High RDW may indicate a\u00a0significant difference in RBC size in conditions such as iron deficiency anaemia or pernicious anaemia, causing an increase in RDW.<\/p>\n
Abnormal Reticulocyte Count<\/strong><\/p>\nLow Reticulocyte count may indicate a\u00a0condition affecting the production of red blood cells, such as a bone marrow disorder or a nutritional deficiency.<\/p>\n
High Reticulocyte count may indicate peripheral causes, such as bleeding or hemolysis<\/p>\n
Abnormal WBC count<\/strong><\/p>\nThe causes for low WBC count may be due to the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Viral infection<\/li>\n

- Leukemia<\/li>\n
- Inflammation<\/li>\n
- Stress, allergies, asthma<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Abnormal Neutrophil count<\/strong><\/p>\nA low neutrophil count, known as neutropenia, may be due to the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Severe infection<\/li>\n
- Immunodeficiency<\/li>\n
- Autoimmune disorders<\/li>\n
- Dietary deficiencies<\/li>\n
- Reaction to drugs<\/li>\n
- Bone marrow damage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A high neutrophil count, known as neutrophilia, may be due to the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Acute bacterial infections<\/li>\n
- Inflammation<\/li>\n
- Stress, Trauma<\/li>\n
- Certain leukemias<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Abnormal Lymphocyte count<\/strong><\/p>\nA low lymphocyte count, known as lymphocytopenia, may be due to the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Autoimmune disorders<\/li>\n
- Infections<\/li>\n
- Bone marrow damage<\/li>\n
- Corticosteroids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A high lymphocyte count, known as lymphocytosis, may be due to the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Acute viral infections<\/li>\n
- Certain bacterial infections<\/li>\n
- Chronic inflammatory disorder<\/li>\n
- Lymphocytic leukemia, lymphoma<\/li>\n
- Acute stress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Abnormal Monocyte count<\/strong><\/p>\nRepeated low monocyte counts may be due to the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Bone marrow damage or failure<\/li>\n
- Hairy cell leukemia<\/li>\n
- Aplastic anemia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A high monocyte count may be due to the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Chronic infections<\/li>\n
- Infection within the heart<\/li>\n
- Collagen vascular diseases<\/li>\n
- Monocytic or myelomonocytic leukemia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Abnormal Eosinophil count<\/strong><\/p>\nOccasional low numbers are usually not medically significant.<\/p>\n
The causes for high eosinophil count may be due to the following:<\/p>\n
\n- Asthma, allergies such as hay fever<\/li>\n
- Drug reactions<\/li>\n
- Parasitic infections<\/li>\n
- Inflammatory disorders<\/li>\n
- Some cancers, leukemias, or lymphomas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Abnormal Basophil count<\/strong><\/p>\nOccasional low numbers are usually not medically significant.<\/p>\n
A high basophil count may be due to the following:<\/p>\n
\n- Rare allergic reactions<\/li>\n
- Inflammation<\/li>\n
- Some leukemias<\/li>\n
- Uremia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Abnormal Platelet count<\/strong><\/p>\nThe causes for low platelet count may be due to the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Cancer, such as leukemia or lymphoma<\/li>\n
- Autoimmune diseases<\/li>\n
- Bacterial infection<\/li>\n
- Viral infections like dengue<\/li>\n
- Chemotherapy or radiation therapy<\/li>\n
- Certain drugs, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The causes for high platelet count may be due to the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Bone marrow disorders<\/li>\n
- Essential thrombocythemia<\/li>\n
- Anemia<\/li>\n
- Infection<\/li>\n
- Surgical removal of the spleen<\/li>\n
- Polycythemia vera<\/li>\n
- Some types of leukemia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Abnormal MPV<\/strong><\/p>\nLow MPV may indicate a\u00a0condition that affects red blood cell production, such as a bone marrow abnormality or a nutritional deficiency.<\/p>\n
High MPV may indicate a\u00a0high number of larger and younger platelets in the blood. It may be due to the bone marrow producing and releasing platelets rapidly and prematurely into circulation.<\/p>\n
Summary<\/h2>\n
Doctors use the CBC test to manage the disease and help you stay healthy. The CBC test can help screen for hundreds of disorders, conditions, and infections with one blood sample. The results of the CBC test can detect diseases early, sometimes before you have symptoms, so that treatment can start as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
