🔬 Normal Ranges in a CBC Test
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) test helps doctors evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including infections, anemia, and leukemia.
📌 1. White Blood Cells (WBCs)
Normal Range: 4,000 to 11,000 cells/mcL
Function: Fight infections
📌 2. Red Blood Cells (RBCs)
Men: 4.7 to 6.1 million cells/mcL
Women: 4.2 to 5.4 million cells/mcL
Children: 4.1 to 5.5 million cells/mcL
Function: Carry oxygen to body tissues
📌 3. Hemoglobin (Hgb)
Men: 13.8 to 17.2 g/dL
Women: 12.1 to 15.1 g/dL
Children: 11 to 16 g/dL
Function: Measures oxygen-carrying protein in RBCs
📌 4. Hematocrit (Hct)
Men: 40.7% to 50.3%
Women: 36.1% to 44.3%
Function: Measures the proportion of red blood cells
📌 5. Platelets
Normal Range: 150,000 to 450,000/mcL
Function: Helps with blood clotting
📌 6. Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)
Normal Range: 80 to 100 fL
Function: Indicates average size of red blood cells
📌 7. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)
Normal Range: 27 to 33 pg/cell
Function: Average amount of hemoglobin per RBC
📌 8. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
Normal Range: 32 to 36 g/dL
Function: Concentration of hemoglobin in RBCs
📌 9. Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
Normal Range: 11.5% to 14.5%
Function: Variation in size of red blood cells
