Blood Count (CBC) Test (without differential)

A complete blood count measures the red cells, white cells and platelets in a tube of blood. This version reports a single total for white cells rather than breaking them into types — that breakdown, the differential, is a separate and more expensive order. It is one of the most commonly run tests in medicine.
