What is a complete blood test?
The Better2Know complete blood test assesses your blood and measures all of its components. This Better2Know test measures and counts your platelets, red blood cells and five different types of white blood cells in your sample. The Haematology test comprehensively assesses the general health of your blood and related systems which are crucial to living a full and healthy life.
How does this test work?
This test requires a clinician to collect your blood sample. When your nurse has collected your samples, it will be sent for analysis at our accredited laboratory.
What tests will you run on my sample?
The complete blood count test will analyse the following:
- Full blood count (FBC) with a 5-part differential. This test checks the level of all your different blood cells to identify any abnormalities
- Red blood cell count
- Platelet cell count
- Lymphocyte cell count
- Monocyte cell count
- Basophil cell count
- Neutrophil cell count
- Eosinophil cell count
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). This measures the rate at which blood cells settle in a tube. Faster rates can indicate inflammatory problems
How will I receive my test results?
Your results from the complete blood test will be available within just one working day of your samples arrival at our certified laboratory.
What should I do with my results?
If your test shows any abnormal levels, we recommend speaking to a doctor. You may be prescribed medication or be asked to take further tests to monitor the success of treatment.
