Normal Ranges

With the Honest Explanation

Reference ranges vary between laboratories. This is not a quality issue — it is because each lab calibrates its instruments and methods using different populations, reagents, and equipment. A result of 5.5 at one lab may show as slightly different at another. What matters is: (1) always using the same lab for serial monitoring, (2) understanding your trend over time, not just one reading. Gini's ranges are calibrated on our specific instruments and validated monthly against international reference samples. Read the full explanation →

Result	Range	Clinical Meaning
Haemoglobin — Normal (men)	13.5–17.5 g/dL	Normal oxygen-carrying capacity
Haemoglobin — Normal (women)	12.0–15.5 g/dL	Normal
WBC — Normal	4,000–11,000 cells/µL	Normal immune function
Platelets — Normal	1,50,000–4,00,000/µL	Normal clotting capacity

Indian-Specific Context

India has one of the world's highest rates of anaemia — over 50% of women of reproductive age are anaemic. Dr. Bhansali tests CBC in every new patient and all women with fatigue.

Price & Why Accuracy Matters

More Than a Lab — A Hospital Lab

Gini's CBC (Complete Blood Count) costs ₹350. Budget standalone labs charge less. The difference is not just equipment — it is what happens when your result is abnormal.

At a standalone lab, you get a report. At Gini, if your CBC is significantly abnormal, our team flags it to Dr. Anil Bhansali's office. You are not alone with a concerning number.

This is what a hospital lab means vs a standalone diagnostic centre. More on Gini's lab quality →
