With the rise in blood-related ailments, doctors are increasingly suggesting regular hemograms for early diagnosis. Here's how hemograms help.
A complete hemogram is a series of tests that includes parameters like complete blood count (CBC) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). A complete hemogram can be a part of a regular health check routine to detect illnesses such as anaemia, blood cancer, and infections or inflammations in the body. It is a vital test that helps detect the early signs of heart diseases and prevent heart attacks and the onset of diabetes.
A complete hemogram is also helpful in detecting ailments such as:
Haematological cancers
Acute hemorrhagic stages
Infections and allergies
Immunodeficiency diseases
A complete hemogram provides comprehensive information regarding the various components of blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Our body maintains certain standard levels of these components for its normal functioning. In case of an infection or inflammation in the body, the levels of these components fluctuate. These fluctuations are detected through a complete hemogram. Depending on the level of increase or decrease, your doctor may reach a diagnosis.
Complete hemograms are essential to:
Detect Cancer: Certain cancers of the blood can be detected through a hemogram. Early detection helps in timely treatment
Prevent Diabetes: Studies have shown that low hemoglobin levels help detect early forms of diabetes
Prevent Heart Attack: A complete hemogram may help doctors understand the levels of cholesterol in your blood, thereby preventing heart attacks and heart ailments
Your doctor may also suggest a complete hemogram as a part of preventive healthcare. If blood disorders run in your family, regular hemograms should be a part of managed care for you and your family members.
