Full Blood Count
Red-cell, white-cell and platelet measures from a full blood count.
×10⁹/L
White Cell Count
White cell count measures the total number of immune cells in your blood. The result is easier to understand alongside the individual neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil and basophil counts.

Red Blood Cell Count
Red blood cell count measures the number of cells that carry oxygen around the body. It is read with haemoglobin, haematocrit and cell-size measures to understand the full blood count.

Haemoglobin
Haemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein inside red blood cells. It helps assess oxygen delivery and is read with red cell count, haematocrit, MCV and iron-related results.
Read the guideL/L
Haematocrit
Haematocrit is the proportion of your blood made up of red blood cells. It helps describe blood concentration and oxygen-carrying capacity and is interpreted with haemoglobin and the rest of the full blood count.

Mean Cell Volume (MCV)
Mean cell volume (MCV) is the average size of red blood cells. It helps distinguish patterns such as iron deficiency or vitamin deficiency when read with haemoglobin, MCH and RDW.

Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH)
Mean cell haemoglobin (MCH) is the average amount of haemoglobin in each red blood cell. It adds detail to the full blood count and is read with MCV, MCHC and iron-related markers.

Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
Mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) describes how concentrated haemoglobin is inside red blood cells. It is a supporting full-blood-count measure, read with haemoglobin, MCV, MCH and RDW.

Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
Red cell distribution width (RDW) shows how much red blood cells vary in size. A higher result can appear early in iron or vitamin deficiency and is interpreted with MCV and haemoglobin.
Read the guide×10⁹/L
Platelet Count
Platelet count measures the blood cells that help stop bleeding. The number is read with mean platelet volume and the rest of the full blood count to understand clotting and production.
Read the guide×10⁹/L
Neutrophils
Neutrophils are white blood cells that respond quickly to infection and tissue injury. Their number can change with illness, inflammation, medicines and stress, so it is read with the total white cell count.
Read the guide×10⁹/L
Lymphocytes
Lymphocytes are white blood cells involved in targeted immune responses and immune memory. The count is read with the other white-cell types, recent illness and the wider blood count.
Read the guide×10⁹/L
Monocytes
Monocytes are white blood cells that help clear damaged cells and coordinate inflammation. Their count adds detail to the full blood count and is interpreted with the other immune cells.
Read the guide×10⁹/L
Eosinophils
Eosinophils are white blood cells involved in allergic and parasite-related immune responses. Small changes are common; a persistent rise is read with symptoms, medicines and the rest of the white-cell count.
Read the guide×10⁹/L
Basophils
Basophils are a small group of white blood cells involved in allergic and inflammatory signalling. Their number is interpreted with the other white-cell types because the count is normally low.

Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)
Mean platelet volume (MPV) is the average size of your platelets. It adds context about platelet production and is interpreted with the platelet count rather than on its own.
