Blood Tests
Pathology or Laboratory Tests cover Blood Tests, and Tests on Urine, Stools (faeces), and Bodily Tissues.
Common Tests include:
COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) includes Haemoglobin, Red cell count, Haematocrit (packed cell volume), Mean
cell volume, Mean Cell Haemoglobin, Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration, White Blood Cell Count (Leucocyte
Count), and Platelet Count. Some hematology analyzers also provide a leucocyte differential count and a
number of derived parameters such as RCDW (RDW-CV, RDW-SD).
White Blood Cell (Leucocyte) count (1000 cells/µL)
Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC) includes
- Segmented Neutrophils/Granulocytes number (1000 cells/µL)

- Monocyte number (1000 cells/µL)
- Eosinophils number (1000 cells/µL)
