Anemia Profile

When there is a shortage of enough red blood cells, people suffer from numerous symptoms like dizziness, pale skin, and shortness of breath. This condition is called anaemia. This profile includes various blood tests that can help identify causes of anaemia and assess the body’s vitamin levels, and also overall blood health. 

Anaemia can occur due to different conditions, which is why this profile is used as it helps physicians find out the causes of anaemia and discern whether anaemia is present due to iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, or other underlying conditions. Early diagnosis is important because it helps doctors come up with an accurate diagnosis. 

The CBC (Complete Blood Count) test tells about the haemoglobin levels and red blood cell count. Serum Ferritin is used to measure the body's iron stores, while Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) evaluates the blood's ability to transport iron and helps distinguish between different types of iron-related disorders. Vitamin B12 is essential for the production of healthy red blood cells and proper nerve function, and its deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anaemia and neurological symptoms. The anaemia profile has all of these tests, and it helps doctors come up with an accurate diagnosis.
