What does DNR mean on a CBC panel?

DNR stands for "Do Not Report," and it appears next to specific test results on your CBC (complete blood count) panel to show that additional reporting isn't necessary.

What Does a CBC Panel Measure?

A CBC typically measures several blood components, including:

  • White Blood Cells (WBC)
  • Red Blood Cells (RBC)
  • Hemoglobin
  • Hematocrit
  • Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)
  • Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)
  • Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
  • Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
  • Platelet Count
  • Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)
  • Differential Counts (Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils)

Why Does DNR Appear on Your Results?

When automated readings show no abnormalities, lab technicians don't need to perform a full manual blood smear analysis. In this case, DNR appears to indicate that no additional reporting is required — your results are clear and straightforward.
