Summary

The complete blood count, or CBC is a panel of laboratory values commonly measured in patients to monitor their overall health and cell counts. The first thing you’ll see when you order a CBC are two lines criss-crossed across each other, literally like a cross. Between these two lines, you’ll see four different numerical values. They’re placed as follows: white blood cell count is on the left, hemoglobin count is on top, platelet count is on the right, and hematocrit is on the bottom.

Lists like this are hard to memorize. Pixorize turns every fact into a picture you won't forget.
