Our Clinic conducts Anaemia Profile Blood Test designed to identify anaemia and its potential causes such as iron deficiency, folic acid deficiency, and vitamin B12 deficiency.
Anaemia refers to a group of blood disorders characterized by a reduction in red blood cells or haemoglobin levels. Haemoglobin is the protein found in red blood cells and is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. The body fails to function efficiently when there’s an inadequate oxygen supply.
There are several forms of anaemia, each with distinct causes and characteristics. The most common include:
Knowing these variations is essential for determining the best course of treatment.
Common iron deficiency anaemia symptoms are:
Less prevalent symptoms are:
The anaemia profile test requires a blood sample, which will be analyzed to assess your red blood cell count, haemoglobin levels and other relevant markers.
Our doctors often use laboratory tests to diagnose anaemia and determine its underlying cause. These include:
The Full Blood Count is a standard test that measures the number and percentage of different cell types in the blood. It can be performed as part of a routine health check or when examining specific health concerns.
This test provides essential information for diagnosing anaemia including the shape, size, and maturity of red blood cells found in the body.
If anaemia is suspected, an iron profile is often used to assess whether iron deficiency is the cause. This test measures levels of iron, ferritin, transferrin, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) in the blood. It helps determine how much iron is stored in your body and how well it is being transported.
You should consider a blood test if you have symptoms of anaemia, or if your doctor has recommended testing. You can also choose to get tested if you have personal concerns about your health.
