Hemogram Test (CBC and ESR)

A Hemogram Test combines both Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR).

When is a Hemogram Test prescribed?

A doctor may advise it as a routine check-up and to evaluate the overall health. CBC detects health conditions such as leukemia, anemia, and infection, while ESR mainly helps in identifying the occurrence of inflammation in the body.
