Description
What can I expect from the Anaemia Profile?
The Anaemia Profile is a comprehensive test designed to provide information about the potential causes of your fatigue or tiredness. Anaemia occurs when there is a deficiency of red blood cells and/or haemoglobin in your blood, resulting in reduced oxygen transport throughout the body. This profile aims to identify common causes of anaemia by examining various parameters in your blood.
The test includes several components:
- Iron Levels: This test measures your iron levels, including ferritin, which is important for assessing iron stores in your body.
- Full Blood Count: This test provides information about the different types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells support the immune system, and platelets are involved in blood clotting.
- Vitamin B12 and Folate Levels: This test measures the levels of vitamin B12 and folate (vitamin B9) in your blood. Both vitamins are essential for the production of healthy red blood cells.
By analyzing these parameters, the Anaemia Profile aims to uncover potential underlying conditions that may be contributing to your symptoms of fatigue. It can help identify issues such as infections, anaemia, and even certain types of leukemia.
