4 deliverables in this treatment
- Full blood count: RBC, haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, platelets
- 5-part white cell differential: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils (absolute + %)
- ČSN EN ISO 15189-accredited laboratory processing
- Results same or next working day
A full blood count (CBC) with white cell differential at MEDILA's ČSN EN ISO 15189-accredited laboratory. The CBC is the foundational haematology test measuring red blood cell count, haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCV/MCH/MCHC indices, platelet count, and total white cell count. The 5-part differential classifies white cells into neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils, providing a comprehensive picture of immune cell distribution. Together these measurements identify anaemia by type (iron deficiency, B12/folate, haemolytic), infection burden, inflammatory activation, and haematological conditions. No fasting is required. Walk-in collection is available Monday to Friday at MEDILA collection centres, with results typically available the same or next working day.
About this treatment
The full blood count with 5-part differential (CBC + Diff) at MEDILA is the most frequently performed laboratory test in clinical medicine and the cornerstone of any haematological evaluation. It is processed by MEDILA's ČSN EN ISO 15189 ed. 3:2023-accredited haematology laboratory on the same day as collection for most standard assays.
The CBC measures three primary cell lines of the blood, each reflecting a different aspect of health and disease:
Red blood cell assessment: The erythrocyte count, haemoglobin concentration, and haematocrit together indicate whether the body is producing sufficient red cells to deliver oxygen to tissues. The three red cell indices provide the critical diagnostic discriminators for anaemia type: MCV (mean corpuscular volume) distinguishes microcytic anaemia (MCV below 80 fl — iron deficiency, thalassaemia) from normocytic (80–100 fl — chronic disease, acute blood…

Panel categories
Biomarkers tested
9The percentage of your blood volume occupied by red blood cells. It reflects the balance between red blood cell production and loss, helping diagnose anemia, dehydration, and polycythemia.
The iron-rich protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout your body and returning carbon dioxide to the lungs. Low haemoglobin is the primary marker for anemia and can cause fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
The average size of your red blood cells. Small cells (microcytic) suggest iron deficiency, while large cells (macrocytic) may indicate vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. Normal-sized cells with low count suggest chronic disease.
The percentage of white blood cells that are monocytes. Monocytes are part of the innate immune system and develop into macrophages and dendritic cells in tissues.
Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.
Measures the number of platelets, small cell fragments essential for blood clotting. Low platelets increase bleeding risk, while high platelets may increase clot risk. Important for monitoring clotting disorders and medication effects.
Measures the number of red blood cells in your blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. Abnormal levels can indicate anemia, dehydration, or bone marrow disorders.
Measures the total number of white blood cells, your body's primary defense against infection. Elevated levels may indicate infection, inflammation, or immune disorders, while low levels can signal bone marrow problems or autoimmune conditions.
