The complete blood count (CBC) is one of the most established and commonly performed laboratory tests, with parameters to support diagnosis of a wide range of haematological conditions. Technological innovations have led to the development of newer parameters that provide additional clinical value beyond the traditional CBC. Manoj Gandhi, associate medical director from Abbott, explains how two parameters available on the Abbott Alinity hq system extend the significance of the CBC beyond traditional limits and broaden the clinical utility of this well-known and widely used test.
