CBC traditionally stands for complete blood count. It represents a profile of tests rather than a single test, and over the years it has been given several names, including hemogram, Coulter profile, blood cell profile, and hematology profile. The number and type of tests included in the profile has also changed over time and among laboratories, depending primarily upon capabilities of the automated analyzers used to perform the profile test.
