Does cbc show blasts?

Not directly: CBC will have an indicator called the RDW or redcell distribution width. When this is elevated, bone marrow is producing younger cells that appear bigger.

NOT CLEAR: In some cases it could show blasts without being really bad but in most cases it's not a good thing.
