Identify the type and cause of anemia with comprehensive screening including CBC, iron studies, ferritin, vitamin B12, folate, and peripheral smear to guide targeted treatment.
Anemia is often dismissed as normal tiredness, especially in women with heavy periods. Without testing, the underlying cause cannot be identified, and treatment may be misdirected. Iron supplements do not help B12-deficiency anemia, and vice versa. Proper diagnosis through blood tests ensures the right treatment and prevents complications.
Based on the tests relevant to anemia, we recommend these packages:
Core blood test with iron & electrolyte screening at home
Includes CBC with differential, iron, and basic metabolic markers — a cost-effective starting point for anemia screening.
68-parameter blood test including CBC, HbA1c & thyroid at home
Adds iron studies, ferritin, and vitamin B12 to the CBC for a more complete anemia workup that identifies the specific type.
93-parameter blood & urine test with CBC, diabetes & full metabolic panel
Comprehensive panel covering CBC, iron studies, B12, folate, kidney function, and thyroid — addressing all common causes of anemia.
Anemia, characterized by low hemoglobin or red blood cell count, affects over 50% of Indian women and 25% of Indian men. Iron deficiency is the most common cause, but anemia can also result from vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, chronic disease, thalassemia trait, or bone marrow problems. Each type requires a different treatment approach.
Symptoms of anemia include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, breathlessness on exertion, dizziness, and cold hands and feet. Severe anemia strains the heart and can lead to heart failure if untreated. A complete blood count with iron studies and vitamin levels can pinpoint the exact type and guide effective treatment.
You can also book these tests individually if you need specific markers only.
Normal hemoglobin is 13–17 g/dL for men and 12–16 g/dL for women. Levels below 12 g/dL in women and 13 g/dL in men generally indicate anemia.
Yes. Severe or prolonged anemia strains the heart, impairs cognitive function, weakens immunity, and during pregnancy can cause complications for both mother and baby.
Hemoglobin tells you that you are anemic, but iron studies, B12, folate, and a peripheral smear reveal the type and cause — which is essential for choosing the right treatment.
