CBC report reader: your complete blood count explained in plain language
A CBC has 20 or more lines: haemoglobin, red cells, white cells and their types, platelets, MCV, MCH, RDW. Upload it and MedDroid explains each one and which are outside the lab's range.
In the MedDroid assistant, tap + → Read a report or scan, then use your camera or upload a photo or PDF.
How it works
- STEP 1
Upload a photo or PDF
Take a photo of your report or upload the lab's PDF. Several pages? Add up to 4 files at once.
- STEP 2
MedDroid reads the values
Every test is read top to bottom with its value, unit and the lab's normal range, and the ones outside the range are marked.
- STEP 3
Get it in plain language
A short explanation in everyday words, whether anything looks serious, and what to do next, including what to ask your doctor.
What you get
Complete blood count (example)
Illustrative example with made-up values, not a real patient. Your own report is read the same way.
Needs attention
| Haemoglobin | 11.2 g/dL ▼ Low | Range 12.0 – 15.5 |
| MCV | 76 fL ▼ Low | Range 80 – 100 |
✓ 18 other values in the normal range
In simple words
Haemoglobin is a little low and the red cells are smaller than usual (low MCV). White cells and platelets are inside the range.
Is it serious?
This pattern is often seen with low iron. It is usually not an emergency.
What to do next
- Ask your doctor whether an iron study (ferritin) is needed
- Mention any tiredness, heavy periods or breathlessness
Values it explains
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Haemoglobin
- WBC count and differential
- Platelet count
- ESR
- Iron studies and ferritin
Also RBC count, PCV / haematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes and basophils.

Frequently asked questions
What does a CBC report show?
A complete blood count measures your red cells and haemoglobin (which carry oxygen), your white cells (which fight infection) and your platelets (which help blood clot). MedDroid explains each line in plain language.
What if only one CBC value is slightly out of range?
Small changes in a single value are common and can depend on hydration, recent illness or the lab's method. MedDroid points out which values are outside the range; your doctor decides if they matter for you.
Is the lab report reader really free?
Yes. The free Community Edition includes 1 report read a day, whether or not you have an account. Paid plans allow more (fair use of up to 5 report reads a day).
Which files can I upload?
A photo of the report (camera or gallery) or a PDF from the lab, up to 4 files at a time, and every page is read. Word, Excel and text files also work: they are turned into a PDF on your device first.
Is this a diagnosis?
No. MedDroid explains what the values on your report mean in general, so you can understand them and prepare questions. Only your doctor can interpret the results with your symptoms and history.
