Complete Blood Count (CBC): Provides information about red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to diagnose anemia, infections, and other blood disorders.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Measures glucose, calcium, electrolytes, and liver and kidney function.
Reticulocyte Count: Indicates the number of newly produced red blood cells, useful in diagnosing anemia and monitoring bone marrow function.
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): A test that measures inflammation in the body by assessing how quickly red blood cells settle in a tube over a period.
Peripheral Blood Smear: Examines the shape and number of blood cells under a microscope to identify abnormalities such as those seen in malaria or other blood disorders.
Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1C): Reflects average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months and is used in the management of diabetes.
