Full Blood Count Test Manchester
The essential baseline blood test — checks for anaemia, infection, and more
The Full Blood Count (FBC) is one of the most fundamental and informative blood tests available. It analyses the different types of cells in your blood — red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets — and can detect anaemia, infection, inflammation, clotting disorders, and even certain cancers. At Myway Clinic, we offer private FBC testing in Manchester and Oldham with fast results.
What Does This Test Check?
A Full Blood Count measures: Haemoglobin (Hb) — anaemia screening; Red Blood Cell Count (RBC); White Blood Cell Count (WBC) and differential — infection/inflammation; Platelets — clotting assessment; Mean Cell Volume (MCV) — type of anaemia; Haematocrit; and Neutrophil, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Eosinophil and Basophil counts.

- Anyone experiencing persistent fatigue or breathlessness
- Those with frequent infections
- People with unexplained bruising or bleeding
- Anyone feeling generally unwell without a clear cause
- As part of a pre-operative assessment

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Full Blood Count detect?
An FBC can detect anaemia (iron, B12, or folate deficiency), infection, inflammation, clotting abnormalities, and can raise suspicion for blood cancers such as leukaemia.
Do I need to fast for an FBC?
No. You can eat and drink normally before having a Full Blood Count.
What does it mean if my white blood cell count is high?
An elevated WBC usually indicates infection, inflammation, stress, or (rarely) a blood cell disorder. Context and clinical symptoms are important in interpreting the result.
