Pattern of General Blood Picture in a Tertiary Care Centre in Uttar Pradesh, India: A Retrospective Study of 190 Patients

Background: The general blood picture (GBP) is a critical diagnostic tool for assessing hematological health and detecting systemic diseases. Objective: To study the pattern of general blood picture findings among patients attending a tertiary care centre in Uttar Pradesh, India. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 190 patients who underwent GBP examination from January 2023 to August 2025. Data were retrieved from laboratory records and analyzed for hematological parameters and morphological patterns. Results: Anemia (45.8%) was the most common abnormality, followed by leukocytosis (22.6%), thrombocytopenia (14.7%), and pancytopenia (6.3%). Normocytic normochromic anemia was the predominant type (38.9%), followed by microcytic hypochromic anemia (33.2%). Gender and age distribution indicated a higher prevalence of anemia among females and adults aged 21–40 years. Conclusion: The general blood picture remains a valuable screening test reflecting diverse systemic and hematological disorders. Regular hematological profiling aids in early diagnosis and management of underlying conditions.
