Anemia Profile (CBC, Iron TIBC, Reti Cnt, Ferritin, B12 & Folate)

Description

Our Anemia Comprehensive Profile is a deep-dive panel designed to identify the specific cause of persistent fatigue, weakness, or iron deficiency. Anemia isn't just about iron; it can be caused by various vitamin deficiencies or bone marrow response issues. This panel looks at all the variables to give you and your doctor a complete picture.

What’s Included in This Profile?

This panel combines six critical tests into one convenient package:

• Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluates your red blood cells, white blood cells, and hemoglobin levels.

• Iron & TIBC: Measures the amount of iron in your blood and how well your blood attaches to that iron.

• Ferritin: Tests your body’s iron stores (the "reserve tank").

• Vitamin B12 & Folate: Identifies "Macrocytic" anemia caused by vitamin deficiencies rather than lack of iron.

• Reticulocyte Count: Measures how fast your bone marrow is producing new red blood cells.

Why Order This Profile?

• Identify Fatigue: Move beyond "feeling tired" to understanding the clinical cause.

• Comprehensive Screening: Distinguishes between iron-deficiency anemia and vitamin-related anemias.

• Monitor Treatment: Perfect for tracking your progress if you are already taking iron or B12 supplements.

• Preparation: Fasting is required for 12 hours prior to testing (water only).
