At Vitalync Diagnosis, we offer accurate full blood count testing near you, with fast turnaround times and clinically reliable results.

What Is a Full Blood Count (FBC)?

A Full Blood Count (FBC) measures the main components of your blood:

Red Blood Cells (RBCs) – carry oxygen around the body

White Blood Cells (WBCs) – fight infection and support immunity

Haemoglobin (Hb) – oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells

Haematocrit (Hct) – proportion of blood made up of red blood cells

Platelets – essential for blood clotting

What Is a Differential Count?

The differential blood count provides a breakdown of different types of white blood cells, including:

Neutrophils – fight bacterial infections

Lymphocytes – involved in viral defence and immune response

Monocytes – help remove damaged cells and fight infections

Eosinophils – associated with allergies and parasitic infections

Basophils – involved in inflammatory and allergic responses

This detailed analysis helps identify the type and cause of infection or immune response.
