  • Lines marked FI are in Finnish: the provider has no English version of them.
  • The prices come from the providers' public price lists, checked 16/10/2026. Check the final price in the provider's booking.

When is a basic blood count taken?

A basic blood count (B-PVK+T) is the most common blood test. It includes red blood cells, haemoglobin, haematocrit, red cell indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW), white blood cells and platelets. A white cell differential is not part of it and is ordered separately.

You do not need to fast for a basic blood count, and the results are usually ready the same day.

A basic blood count is taken for example for tiredness, suspected anaemia, infections or as part of a general health check.
