Complete Blood Count (CBC)

    Provides detailed information on red cells count, white cells count and platelets. The total white cell count and individual cell count can indicate leukemia, stress, inflammation or an inability to fight infection. Low platelet numbers may indicate a clotting problem. Aloha's doctors might advise that surgery be delayed if anemia, inflammation or especially a low platelet count is present because these conditions could cause serious surgical complications. A microscopic inspection of the morphology of the  red/white cells, stained blood smear can provide information on the type of anemia or inflammation , or other abnormalities such as leukemia.
