CBC, ESR Price in Bangladesh

What is CBC, ESR?

CBC (Complete Blood Count) is a broad screening test that evaluates overall health and detects a variety of disorders, such as anemia, infection, and many other diseases. It measures several components of the blood, including: Red blood cells (RBCs): Carry oxygen White blood cells (WBCs): Fight infection Hemoglobin: Oxygen-carrying protein in RBCs Hematocrit: Proportion of blood made up of RBCs Platelets: Help with blood clotting ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is a test that measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube in one hour.

A higher rate can indicate inflammation, infection, or other medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, or autoimmune diseases. Both tests are used together to assess overall health, detect abnormalities, and monitor disease progression.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
