A member asked:
Can a cbc detect if you have thyroid problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: cbc = complete blood count, white blood cells (fight infection) red blood cells (carry oxygen), platelets (clot).Although a white blood cell count can be abnormal in certain inflammatory conditions of the thyroid gland (eg subacute thyroiditis), it is not possible to use this to diagnose a thyroid problem. The number of conditions that raise the white blood cell count could fill a book.
