What is the meaning of cbc test with differential
The doctor advised me to get a complete blood count test as a part of my regular body check-up. I’ve had this test before and have often observed the doctor mentioning something about CBC with a differential. I’m curious to know what does it mean. Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of CBC test with differential?
