Complete blood count without ESR is a basic laboratory test used for the initial assessment of the hematopoietic system. The test is used for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of various pathological conditions.
The analysis reflects the main quantitative and qualitative parameters of peripheral blood: hemoglobin level, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and hematocrit, as well as red blood cell indices. This allows assessment of oxygen transport status, immune system function, hemostasis, and the overall hematopoietic system.
