How much does a FBC test cost in Sri Lanka?

Is FBC the same as CBC or a blood picture?

FBC and CBC are the same test. A 'blood picture' usually means a blood film examined under the microscope, which your doctor may order alongside the FBC.

What the FBC test measures

A Full Blood Count measures the number and size of your red blood cells, your haemoglobin level, the white blood cells that fight infection (with a breakdown of each type), and the platelets that help blood clot. We run it on a Medonic automated haematology analyser.

Also known as: Full Blood Count, CBC, Complete Blood Count, Blood picture.

Why doctors order it

Fever — including suspected dengue, where the platelet count is watched closely
Tiredness, paleness or breathlessness that could point to anaemia
Infections, unexplained bruising or bleeding
Routine health checks and before surgery

How to prepare

No fasting is needed. During a dengue-season fever, your doctor may ask for the FBC to be repeated daily — morning slots and home collection make that easier.
