Feeling Confused by Your Blood Test Report? You’re Not Alone.
Ever stared at a blood test report full of acronyms—CBC, PLB, WBC—and wondered, “What does this even mean?”
You’re not alone. Most patients don’t realize that your CBC (Complete Blood Count) is a treasure map that gives deep insights into your body’s inner health.
Let’s decode the most important parts of your blood report—especially the CBC and PLB count—and understand why it matters more than you think.
What is a CBC Test?
A CBC test gives you a snapshot of your blood’s health. It checks for:
- WBC (White Blood Cells): Fights infections
- RBC (Red Blood Cells): Carries oxygen
- HGB (Hemoglobin): Oxygen transport protein
- HCT (Hematocrit): Blood volume ratio
- PLT or PLB (Platelets): Helps with blood clotting
What Does PLB (Platelet Count) Mean?
Your platelet count (PLB or PLT) tells how well your blood can clot.
Low platelets? You may bruise easily, bleed more, or feel unusually weak.
- Low PLB (Thrombocytopenia): Could be due to infections, bone marrow issues, or medications.
- High PLB (Thrombocytosis): May signal inflammation or other chronic conditions.
Ideal range: 150,000 – 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood
