Anemia Test

This test is suitable for people who want to monitor their hematologic health and detect early signs of anemia. It is particularly useful for those who:

• Have symptoms of anemia, such as fatigue, weakness, or paleness.
• Have a diet low in iron or essential vitamins.
• Have medical conditions that affect the absorption of iron or vitamins.
• Have previously been diagnosed with anemia and want to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Are in risk groups for anemia, such as pregnant women or people with chronic diseases.

• Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body, which is essential for the production of hemoglobin and the transport of oxygen. Low ferritin levels may indicate iron deficiency, a major cause of iron deficiency anemia. Measuring ferritin helps assess the body's iron stores and identify the need for supplementation or dietary adjustments.
• Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) is crucial for the formation of blood cells and DNA synthesis. Adequate levels of folic acid are essential for the production of healthy red blood cells. Folic acid deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anemia, a condition in which red blood cells are abnormally large and ineffective at carrying oxygen. Measuring your folic acid helps ensure that you are getting enough of this vital nutrient.
• Transferrin is a protein that transports iron in the blood. Transferrin levels can help diagnose different types of anemia, such as iron deficiency anemia or anemia of chronic disease. Measuring transferrin is essential to understanding how iron is being transported and used in the body and to identify any changes in iron metabolism.
