A hemogram is a standard blood test that measures various components of the blood to evaluate overall health and detect potential health issues.

Key Components Measured in a Hemogram:

1. Hemoglobin: Measures the level of the oxygen-carrying protein in the blood.
2. WBC (White Blood Cells): Indicates the body’s immune response by measuring the number of white blood cells.
3. RBC (Red Blood Cells): Counts the red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.
4. Platelets: Measures the number of platelets involved in the blood clotting process.
5. Hematocrit (HCT): Assesses the proportion of red blood cells in the blood.
6. MCV, MCH, MCHC: Examines the size, color, and characteristics of red blood cells.

A hemogram test provides critical insights into the body’s overall health and helps identify underlying health conditions accurately.
