CBC Dataset from NHANES

This dataset contains cleaned and organized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), focusing on complete blood count (CBC) parameters. The dataset includes various blood test measures such as white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), platelet count (PLT), and others, collected from a large population sample.

The data has been carefully cleaned by:

• Removing irrelevant columns
• Adjusting feature names for consistency
• Handling missing values

It includes over 100,000 records and aims to provide insights into blood disorders and their correlation with health metrics. This dataset is suitable for researchers and data scientists working in the fields of hematology, diagnostics, and epidemiology.
