Overview of the Test

The Full Blood Count Test, also known as an FBC blood test, is a blood test that checks several important blood markers, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

This test can help show signs of anaemia and may identify blood changes that can be relevant when assessing general health or reviewing possible markers linked to persistent alcohol use.

Results include a doctor’s explanation. This test does not diagnose a condition on its own, and results should be discussed with a healthcare professional where appropriate.

Who Is This Full Blood Count Test For?

This full blood count blood test is suitable for people who want a general check of key blood markers or who have been advised to check for signs such as anaemia.

Additional Health Context

Sample Type

This is a blood test. It can be done at the same appointment as other compatible tests, helping you combine testing where appropriate.

What This Test Can Help Assess
