The CBC is one ,of the most commonly ordered blood screenings and
is used to present a general picture of a person's overall health.
It also is used to diagnose disease when people are 'not feeling
well' and to monitor treatment of many diseases, including anemia
and leukemia. In the CBC test, the different types of cells in the
blood are counted and examined by a machine. The seven components in
a CBC are:
White Blood Cell Count
Red Blood Cell Count
Hemoglobin Concentration
Hematocrit Value
Indices
Platelet Count White Blood Count Differential
PSA (Prostatic Specific Antigen)
A prostate cancer indicator. Recommended by the American Cancer Society for men over 50 or for those who have a family history of prostate cancer. This screening measures a protein that is only produced by the male prostate gland. High levels may indicate prostate cancer or non-cancerous prostatic disease.
Hemoglobin A1c (Diabetic Screening)
Provides a record of your average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months.
Elevated levels of C-reactive protein can indicate artery inflammation. New evidence shows that inflammation plays a role in the initiation and progression of arteriosclerosis, the chief underlying cause of heart attack.
C-reactive protein is produced in the liver in response to tissue injury, infection and inflammation. Scientists have come to believe that while high cholesterol causes fatty buildups in the blood vessels, heart attacks are triggered when inflammation causes the deposits to break off and clog an artery. The Cardio C-RP screening adds to the predictive value of Total and HDL Cholesterol. When combined with these traditional markers, increased levels of CRP adds to the risk and predicts risk even in the absence of elevated. lipid levels (cholesterol). This screening is. recommended for postmenopausal women and men of any age.
