Three tests, 30 parameters: complete blood count, ESR and peripheral smear to check blood cells, infection and inflammation.
The Haemogram (CBC + ESR + PS) is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, inflammation, and blood cell morphology. It combines a Complete Blood Count (CBC), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), and Peripheral Smear (PS) examination, covering 30 parameters, to help diagnose infections, anemia, inflammation, blood disorders, and various hematological conditions.
Also known as: Complete Blood Count with ESR and Peripheral Smear, CBC with ESR, Complete Hemogram, CBC + PS Test
The Haemogram is one of the most commonly recommended laboratory investigations. It provides detailed information about the number, size, shape, and characteristics of blood cells while also assessing the presence of inflammation and abnormalities seen under the microscope.
The test evaluates:

It is a comprehensive blood test that combines a Complete Blood Count (CBC), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), and Peripheral Smear (PS) examination to evaluate blood health, inflammation, and blood cell morphology.
No. Fasting is usually not required unless your doctor has advised additional fasting blood tests.
It can help identify anemia, infections, inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, platelet disorders, blood cancers, autoimmune diseases, and various hematological conditions.
ESR is an inflammatory marker that helps detect infections, autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammatory disorders, and monitor disease activity.

Complete Blood Count (CBC) measures the number and characteristics of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and RBC indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW).
ESR measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube. An increased ESR may indicate inflammation, infection, or autoimmune disorders.
Peripheral Smear (PS): a laboratory specialist examines blood cells under a microscope to evaluate cell size, shape, morphology, the presence of abnormal or immature blood cells, and blood parasites when clinically suspected.

Healthy tips
Home sample collection
A Peripheral Smear is a microscopic examination of blood cells that evaluates their size, shape, number, and appearance to detect abnormalities that may not be visible on automated blood analyzers.
The Mentzer Index (MCV/RBC) is a calculated value that helps doctors differentiate between iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia trait. It is interpreted along with other blood test results and clinical findings.
Your doctor may recommend this test if you have symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, fever, frequent infections, unexplained bruising, bleeding, pale skin, or as part of a routine preventive health checkup.
