CBC Test in Mandi Bahauddin
A CBC counts your red cells, white cells, haemoglobin and platelets — the single most useful screening test for anaemia, infection, dengue and general weakness.
Why this test is done
A Complete Blood Count is the test doctors order most often, and for good reason: one small blood sample tells them whether you are anaemic, whether your body is fighting an infection, and whether your platelets have dropped. In Mandi Bahauddin we see a very high number of CBCs requested for persistent tiredness, recurring fever, before surgery, and during dengue season for platelet monitoring.
What is included
- Haemoglobin (Hb)
- Total RBC count, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC
- Total and differential WBC count
- Platelet count
- RDW and blood indices
- Peripheral smear comment when the counts are abnormal
How to prepare
Fasting: No fasting needed
Sample: 3 ml blood in an EDTA (purple-top) tube
Report time: Same day — usually within 2–3 hours
Timings: 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM, seven days a week — no appointment required.
Bring your doctor's prescription and any previous reports of the same test. Comparing today's result with an older one is often more useful than the number on its own, so we keep your history on file and print the comparison where it helps.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be fasting for a CBC test?
No. A CBC can be done at any time of day, before or after food. If your doctor has also asked for blood sugar or a lipid profile on the same sample, then you should come fasting for 8–12 hours.
How much does a CBC test cost in Mandi Bahauddin?
At City Diagnostic & Medical Center a CBC is Rs. 500. The report is ready the same day and can be collected from the centre, sent on WhatsApp, or downloaded from our online report portal.
Can a CBC detect dengue?
A CBC does not confirm dengue, but a falling platelet count with a low white cell count is a strong warning sign. Dengue is confirmed with an NS1 antigen or dengue IgG/IgM test — we run both, and we repeat CBCs daily for patients under treatment.
