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.
