In a world of life and activity, anemia is a health challenge that affects a person's quality of life and ability to function. Anemia tests are essential to check for hemoglobin and red blood cell levels, and they help determine the cause of anemia and guide treatment.

There are a variety of tests and tests that can be performed to diagnose anemia, and sometimes a single test may be enough to reach a proper diagnosis

Fal Medical Laboratories offers state-of-the-art anemia screenings under the supervision of experienced professionals, ensuring the best results to support a vibrant and active life.

Anemia test details

Anemia tests include a range of tests, including:

Complete Blood Count (CBC) Analysis:

Complete blood count analysis is one of the most important tests in anaemia analysis, as it provides a comprehensive view of blood health and function, and diagnoses a wide range of medical conditions and health problems through:

  • measure the number of erythrocytes responsible for carrying oxygen.
  • Measure the number of white blood cells that fight inflammation and infection.
  • Measurement of hemoglobin responsible for carrying oxygen in erythrocytes.
  • Measurement of platelets responsible for the process of blood clotting.
  • Hematocrit measurement which is the amount of red blood cells
    in the blood.

Iron Analysis

Iron level analysis in the blood, as it measures the percentage of iron at the time of the analysis, but the percentage of iron can vary from day to day or it can sometimes vary during a day, so it is necessary to perform an iron store analysis alongside iron analysis.

It is important to have a routine check-up of children to monitor iron
levels to avoid anemia in children.


Iron Stock Analysis

Measuring iron stores in the blood, as it measures the level of ferritin, which is a protein responsible for storing iron in the body's cells and using it when needed.

Measure the level of non-iron transferrin protein in the blood and thus determine the ability of the blood
to carry iron by the protein.


Folic Acid Analysis

It measures the level of folic acid in the body and is also known as vitamin B9.

Folic acid analysis is usually performed with vitamin B12 analysis to diagnose the causes of anemia and anemia.


Vitamin B12 Analysis

Diagnosis of some cases of anemia as it affects the body's ability to absorb iron. Iron is also an essential component of red blood cell formation, so vitamin B12 deficiency can affect the body's ability to use iron effectively and develop anemia.


Hemoglobin Analysis

One of the necessary tests in anaemia and anemia analysis is that it measures the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. The estimation of the hemoglobin level shows whether there is a lack of red blood cells or not, thus diagnosing iron deficiency, anemia and anemia.

There can be various causes of anemia, and a hemoglobin analysis helps determine the type of anemia present. For example, if your hemoglobin level is low, this may be an indication of iron deficiency anemia, megaloplasia anemia, or vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency anemia.


Reticulum Analysis

Determine the number of reticular cells in the blood. This analysis is usually done to measure immature blood cells produced by the bone marrow that normally turn into mature cells. Therefore, any abnormality in the level of retinal cells can cause anemia.


Analysis of the total capacity of iron bonding

Blood protein analysis and its ability to bind to iron. This analysis is part of the examination of the level of iron in the body. TIBC can be used to analyze iron deficiency or hyperbaria, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of iron therapy for anemia.

There are some other tests to determine the cause of the resulting anemia that are not related to iron deficiency, such as a thyroid test.

Anemia testing steps

  • go to the lab on schedule
  • Blood sample drawn from a vein in the patient's arm by laboratory technicians and later analyzed
