A member asked:
Would a cbc help diagnosis leukemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it would: Leukemia is a cancer of the white blood cells, so the white blood counts are effected by leukemia, usually they increase but sometimes they can go down too. Also the hb and platelet counts are also affected by leukemia as it grows in the bone marrow and can compromise the production of all types of blood cells.. So a CBC is a good screening test for leukemia diagnosis.
