What is included?
  • White blood cells (LPK)

    White blood cells (LPK)

    White blood cells that fight infection

    White blood cells are part of the immune system. This test counts them together; a differential count gives separate results for the different cell types.

  • Folate (B9)

    Folate (B9)

    Helps your body make new cells

    Folate (vitamin B9) helps your body make new cells, including red blood cells.

  • MCHC

    MCHC

    Haemoglobin concentration in your red cells

    MCHC is the average concentration of haemoglobin within red blood cells. It adds information to the cell size and the amount of haemoglobin per cell.

  • Red blood cells (EPK)

    Red blood cells (EPK)

    Number of red cells

    The red blood cell count measures how many red cells are present in the blood. It is read with haemoglobin, which carries oxygen, and haematocrit, the proportion of blood occupied by red cells.

  • Ferritin

    Ferritin

    Your iron stores

    Ferritin is a protein that stores iron. Its blood level helps assess iron stores, which can become low before haemoglobin falls. Inflammation can raise ferritin and complicate interpretation.

  • Platelets (TPK)

    Platelets (TPK)

    Platelets - the cells that help blood clot

    Platelets help stop bleeding by forming part of a blood clot. The platelet count measures how many are present in the blood.

  • CRP

    CRP

    A nonspecific inflammation marker

    CRP rises rapidly in infection and inflammation. It is used primarily to detect ongoing acute inflammation.

  • MCH

    MCH

    Haemoglobin per red cell

    MCH is the average amount of haemoglobin in each red blood cell. Read with cell size and total haemoglobin, it adds detail to the blood-count pattern.

  • Haemoglobin (Hb)

    Haemoglobin (Hb)

    The oxygen-carrying protein in your blood

    Haemoglobin carries oxygen inside red blood cells. Its concentration is a key part of the blood count and helps assess anaemia, also called a low blood count.

  • MCV

    MCV

    The size of your red cells

    MCV measures the average size of red blood cells. It adds information to haemoglobin and the other blood-count measurements.

  • Vitamin B12

    Vitamin B12

    Needed for nerves and red cells

    Vitamin B12 supports nerve function and the formation of red blood cells. The blood test is one part of assessing the body's supply of this vitamin.

  • Haematocrit (EVF)

    Haematocrit (EVF)

    Share of red cells in your blood

    Haematocrit measures the proportion of blood occupied by red blood cells. It is read with haemoglobin and the red-cell count; fluid balance also affects the proportion.

  • Red blood cells (EPK)

    Red blood cells (EPK)

    Number of red cells

    The red blood cell count measures how many red cells are present in the blood. It is read with haemoglobin, which carries oxygen, and haematocrit, the proportion of blood occupied by red cells.

  • Calcium

  • Iron

    Iron

    Iron currently moving in your blood

    Serum iron measures how much iron is currently being transported in the blood. It varies through the day and is interpreted with transferrin and ferritin.

  • Haematocrit (EVF)

    Haematocrit (EVF)

    Share of red cells in your blood

    Haematocrit measures the proportion of blood occupied by red blood cells. It is read with haemoglobin and the red-cell count; fluid balance also affects the proportion.
