This test can help to identify anaemia: a condition which affects the red blood cells, disrupting normal levels of haemoglobin. Anaemia can occur when there are fewer blood cells than normal, or the individual red blood cells have lower than normal levels of haemoglobin.
A healthy blood profile is important for overall health and wellness.
Common symptoms of anaemia include:
Tiredness
Lethargy
Dizziness
Breathlessness
Feeling faint
Pale skin
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or you are concerned that you may have anaemia, you should consider this test.

Ferritin. This test measures the amount of iron stored in the body and can be used to diagnose anaemia or iron overload.
Folic acid test. This test measures the amount of folic acid (vitamin B9) in the blood, which is essential for the production of healthy red blood cells.
Vitamin B12. Essential for red blood cell formation.
Full blood count (FBC) with a 5-part differential. This test checks the levels of all your different blood cells to identify any abnormalities.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). This measures the rate at which blood cells settle in a tube. Faster rates can indicate inflammatory problems.
