Other diseases and conditions associated with CBC abnormalities

Abnormal amounts of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets can lead to several symptoms and health problems. These abnormalities can also be caused by an underlying disease. Sepsis, pancytopenia, and hpertriglycerdemia are a few examples of such diseases and conditions.
