What is the Normal CBC Range?

The normal CBC range differs in men and women in most cases and is as follows.

Red Blood Cells:

Men: 4.35-5.65 trillion cells/L

Women: 3.92-5.13 trillion cells/L

White Blood Cell Count: 3.4-9.6 billion cells/L

Hemoglobin:

Men: 13.2-16.6 grams/dL (where dL stands for deciliter)

Women: 11.6-15 grams/dL

Platelets:

Men: 135-317 billion/L

Women: 157-371 billion/L

How much does a CBC Test Cost/Price?

CBC is not a costly procedure if a patient has proper insurance. However, its price can vary from anywhere between $10.00 to $2,700, depending upon the kind of insurance an individual has. In case of no insurance, the average cost estimate for a complete blood count test lies around $140 - $622 but is prone to change.

Why is a CBC Test conducted?

A CBC test may be conducted for various reasons, some of which are discussed below.

1. For the Diagnosis of a Medical Condition

A CBC test is used to diagnose various medical ailments that are hinted at in the blood count of an individual. Blood counts higher or lower than their average values indicate different diseases. A low white blood cell count, known as leukopenia, may signify complications in the bone marrow of an individual or any other reactions triggered by certain medications. In contrast, a high white blood cell count may indicate infection at any site in the body, resulting in an augmented need for resistance-creating and combating cells. It may also indicate an underlying malignancy.

Similarly, a low red blood count or low Hemoglobin may hint at anemia. A higher than the standard number of red blood cells may suggest hypoxia (low oxygen level in blood) or diseases in the bone marrow. Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) may be an indicator of prolonged bleeding or bone marrow complications. A higher than average platelet count (thrombocytosis) may insinuate severe inflammation.

2. Evaluation of the Overall Health of a patient
