Check-up «Anemia Test»

Anemia is a pathological condition in which the hemoglobin level and/or the number of red blood cells decreases, which is why the body's tissues do not receive enough oxygen. The causes of anemia can be different: from iron deficiency to impaired absorption of vitamin B12 or lack of folate. The study helps not only to identify the fact of anemia, but also to understand its nature so that the doctor can prescribe effective treatment. Recommended for symptoms of chronic fatigue, pallor, dizziness, and decreased performance.

Confirmation of anemia

Establishing the cause of decreased hemoglobin

Detection of iron, B12 or folate deficiency

Monitoring anemia treatment

Screening for chronic fatigue, pregnancy, vegetarian diet or after surgery

Complaints of weakness, fatigue, dizziness

Paleness of the skin and mucous membranes

Rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath during exertion

Suspected anemia during examination

Chronic inflammatory or gastrointestinal diseases

Preparation for pregnancy or pregnancy

Monitoring when taking iron, B12 or folic acid preparations

Diets with limited meat, dairy or cereal content

Programme components

Iron

Shows the level of iron in the blood serum. Iron is necessary for the synthesis of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen. Iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of anemia.

Include

Normal range:

Men: 11.6–31.3 µmol/l
Women: 9.0–30.4 µmol/l

Reasons for increased values: hemochromatosis, hemolytic anemia, intake of iron preparations, frequent blood transfusions, acute hepatitis.
Reasons for decreased values: iron deficiency anemia, blood loss, inflammatory processes, chronic infections, pregnancy, deficiency of iron intake with food.

Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)

Include

Normal range: 45–77 µmol/l

Reasons for increased values: iron deficiency anemia, pregnancy, estrogen intake.
Reasons for decreased values: chronic inflammation, liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, cancer, iron overload (hemochromatosis).

Ferritin

The main marker of iron stores in the body. It is a protein that accumulates iron in the liver and other organs.

Include

Normal range:

Men: 30–400 ng/ml
Women: 13–150 ng/ml

Reasons for increased values: hemochromatosis, inflammatory diseases, infections, cancer, chronic liver disease.
Reasons for decreased values: iron deficiency anemia, iron deficiency, chronic blood loss, pregnancy.

Vitamin B12

Necessary for normal hematopoiesis and functioning of the nervous system. Participates in DNA synthesis.

Include

Normal range: 197–771 pg/ml (equivalent to: 145–570 pmol/l)

Reasons for increased values: vitamin B12 intake, myeloproliferative diseases, liver cirrhosis, renal failure.
Reasons for decreased values: B12-deficiency anemia, absorption disorders (atrophic gastritis, celiac disease, small intestine diseases), long-term vegetarianism, metformin intake, alcohol abuse, Helicobacter pylori.

Folic acid (Vitamin B9)

Necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids, the formation of red blood cells and the normal functioning of the central nervous system. Its deficiency can cause macrocytic anemia.

Include

Normal range: 3.1–20.0 ng/ml (or 7–45 nmol/l)

Reasons for increased values: folate intake, some leukemia, liver cirrhosis.
Reasons for decreased values: folate deficiency anemia, pregnancy, alcoholism, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, malabsorption (celiac disease, Crohn's disease), methotrexate, sulfasalazine intake.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Allows you to assess the general condition of the hematopoietic system. Reflects the number of red blood cells, hemoglobin level, hematocrit, as well as the volume and saturation of red blood cells (MCV, MCH, MCHC). These parameters help determine the type of anemia − iron deficiency, megaloblastic, normocytic, etc.

Key parameters:

Hemoglobin

Include

Normal range: men: 130–160 g/l, women: 120–150 g/l

Reasons for increased values: dehydration, erythrocytosis, hypoxia
Reasons for decreased values: anemia, blood loss, pregnancy

Erythrocytes

Normal range: men: 4.5–5.5 × 10¹²/l, women: 3.8–4.8 × 10¹²/l

Reasons for increased values: erythrocytosis, dehydration
Reasons for decreased values: anemia, blood loss, chronic diseases

Leukocytes

Normal range: 4.0–9.0 × 10⁹/l

Reasons for increased values: acute infections, inflammations, leukemia
Reasons for decreased values: viral infections, aplastic anemia, taking cytostatics

Platelets

Normal range: 150–400 × 10⁹/l

Reasons for increased values: inflammation, iron deficiency anemia, tumors
Reasons for decreased values: viral infections, autoimmune processes, thrombocytopenia
