Full Blood Count (FBC) Test Singapore
A Full Blood Count (FBC) test is a common blood test that checks the different parts of your blood, including red and white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin levels. It gives important information about your overall health, helps identify issues like anemia or infections, and keeps track of conditions and treatments that impact your blood cells.
What Happens During an FBC Test?
An FBC test is quick and simple. A healthcare professional will draw a small sample of blood, usually from a vein in your arm. The process takes just a few minutes and is relatively painless. The sample is then sent to a lab, where machines analyse various components of your blood.
What Do the Results Mean?
Each part of the FBC provides clues about your health:
- Red Blood Cells (RBC): Low levels can indicate anemia or blood loss, while high levels might suggest dehydration or other conditions.
- White Blood Cells (WBC): High counts may signal infection or inflammation, whereas low counts could reflect immune issues.
- Hemoglobin & Hematocrit: These measure your blood’s ability to carry oxygen.
- Platelets: These help with clotting. Abnormal numbers might affect bleeding or clotting risks.
When Should You Get an FBC?
You might need a Full Blood Count if you:
- Feel unusually tired or weak
- Experience frequent infections
- Have unexplained bruising or bleeding
- Are undergoing treatment that affects blood (e.g., chemotherapy)
Even during routine health screenings, an FBC can uncover silent issues before symptoms appear.
What Happens If Something Is Abnormal?
An abnormal result doesn't always mean something serious. It may lead your doctor to suggest further tests, monitor changes over time, or start treatment if needed.
