Hemogram

/ˈhiːmoʊˌɡræm/ noun

Definition

A complete written record or graphic representation of the components and characteristics of blood, usually obtained through laboratory testing.

Etymology

From hemo- (blood) + -gram (Greek gramma, something written or drawn). This diagnostic term emerged in the early 20th century as medical laboratories developed standardized methods to record blood cell counts and types.

Kelly Says

A hemogram is basically your blood's report card—doctors can read one page and instantly spot infections, anemia, clotting problems, or even cancer because different conditions leave very specific fingerprints in your blood composition.
