Complete Blood Count (CBC) in Vizag

Several blood conditions and disorders can impact a person negatively, causing symptoms like dizziness, nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness, breathlessness, pale skin, fever, etc. The conditions can range from something as mild as anaemia to something as severe as leukaemia.

In anaemia, patients will likely lose a considerable volume of red blood cells. It could either be a permanent or a temporary condition, oscillating between mild to severe scale. In most cases, doctors cannot narrow down the condition that might trigger anaemia. 

There are many different types of this condition, such as aplastic, vitamin and iron deficiency, sickle cell anaemia and thalassemia. The symptoms of each of these conditions might vary, but some generic symptoms will be apparent in all. These include weakness, abnormal heartbeats, fatigue, yellowish skin, cold limbs, headaches, and chest pain. The symptoms may arise gradually in the initial stages but, over time, may become severe. 

On the other hand, leukaemia is a specific cancer type that attacks the body's tissues, including the lymphatic system and bone marrow. Leukaemia has many different types – some occur in young kids and others in adults. In either case, it affects the white blood cells or WBCs. These cells are responsible for fighting off infections that invade the body. 

In a healthy person, WBC grows and typically divides normally. But in a person with leukaemia, their bone marrow produces an uncontrollable amount of white blood cells that do not work correctly. 

This disease may display apparent signs and symptoms, such as chills, fever, persistent fatigue, unintentional weight loss, severe infection, swollen lymph nodes, spleen or liver, easy bruising and bleeding, excessive sweating, bone tenderness and pain, recurrent nosebleeds, and small red spots on the body. 

A doctor's first response in both these diseases will be to order a CBC test.
