A complete blood count (CBC) provides information about red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets by measuring their numbers and volumes in the blood. A CBC helps doctors diagnose conditions like anemia and infection. The document then lists normal reference ranges for white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin levels, platelet count, and mean platelet volume in men, women, children, adults, and newborns.
