Complete Blood Count (CBC) Without Differential

The 10 tests in this panel

What each one measures and the range labs usually print for adults. Ranges differ a little between labs, so the range on your own report is the one your result is judged against.

• White Blood Cell Count

  The total number of white blood cells, the immune cells that fight infection, in a small sample of your blood.

  Adults

  3.8–10.8 ×10³/µL

• Red Blood Cell Count

  The number of red blood cells in a sample of your blood. These cells carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.

  Men, 18+

  4.3–5.7 ×10⁶/µL

  Women, 18+

  3.9–5 ×10⁶/µL

• Hemoglobin

  The oxygen-carrying protein in your red blood cells. It is the main number used to check for anemia.

  Men, 16+

  13–17.7 g/dL

  Women, 16+

  11.1–15.9 g/dL

• Hematocrit

  The share of your blood made up of red blood cells, shown as a percent. It usually moves together with hemoglobin.

  Men, 13+

  37.5–51 %

  Women, 13+

  34–46.6 %

• Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)

  The average size of your red blood cells. It helps show whether they run smaller or larger than usual.

  18+

  80–100 fL

• Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)

  How much hemoglobin, on average, each of your red blood cells carries.

  18+

  27–33 pg

• Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)

  How concentrated the hemoglobin is inside your red blood cells, which shows how pale or dense they are.

  18+

  32–36 g/dL

• Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW-CV)

  How much your red blood cells vary in size. A higher number means a wider mix of small and large cells.

  Adults

  11.7–15.4 %

• Platelet Count

  The number of platelets, the small blood cells that help your blood clot, in a sample of your blood.

  Adults

  150–450 ×10³/µL

• Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)

  The average size of your platelets, the small blood cells that help your blood clot.

  Adults

  7.2–12.3 fL
