Anemia Profile

There are multiple types of anemia with diverse potential causes. Anemia testing is essential to diagnosing anemia and identifying its underlying cause.

TOTAL TEST :  30 parameters

Ferritin: Measures the amount of ferritin in the blood, a red-blood-cell protein that stores iron in your cells. It indirectly determines how much iron is stored in the body

Serum Iron: Measures the level of iron, an essential mineral that is an important component of hemoglobin that serves to carry oxygen throughout the body, so that the body can produce energy.

Total Iron Binding Capacity: Measures the blood’s capacity to bind iron with transferrin, a protein that combines with ferritin to deliver iron to new red blood cells.

Transferrin test: Measures transferrin, a protein that moves iron throughout the body

Vitamin B12: Measures the amount of B-12, a water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in the health of nerves and red blood cells.The B vitamin that plays a vital role in making DNA, the genetic material in cells. Folic acid is a synthesized version of folate found in processed foods and supplements. A folate deficiency can lead to health complications, especially in pregnant women.

Reticulocyte Count: Measures reticulocytes (immature blood cells) to determine if your bone marrow is producing an adequate amount of red blood cells.

Complete blood count –  24 parameters

A complete blood count, or CBC, is a blood test that measures many different parts and features of your blood, including:

Red blood cells, which carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.

White blood cells, which fight infections and other diseases. There are five major types of white blood cells. A CBC test measures the total number of white cells in your blood. A different test called a CBC with differential measures the number of each type of these white blood cells.

Platelets, which stop bleeding by helping your blood to clot.

Hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.

Hematocrit, a measurement of how much of your blood is made up of red blood cells.

Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), a measure of the average size of your red blood cells.
