Test Code CBC with Diff (WAM) Complete Blood Count (CBC) With Differential, Blood

Performing Laboratory

NRL-Hematology

Methodology

Includes WBC count, RBC count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, MPV, platelet count, RDW-CV, RDW-SD, and 6-part WBC differential.

Note: When automated differential results are outside set parameters, a manual verification of results will be performed at an additional charge.
