Anaemia Test

Our Anaemia Blood Test provides a detailed assessment of the key blood and nutritional markers associated with anaemia, iron deficiency and healthy red blood cell production.

Rather than measuring iron alone, this test combines a Full Blood Count, Iron Status and Nutritional Health profile to help identify patterns that may contribute to symptoms such as persistent tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches or reduced exercise tolerance.

The test measures important health markers including:

  • Haemoglobin – the oxygen-carrying protein found within red blood cells
  • Red Blood Cell Count and Indices – providing further information about the size, number and characteristics of your red blood cells
  • Ferritin – an important marker of your body’s stored iron
  • Serum Iron and Iron Status – helping assess the availability and transport of iron within the body
  • Vitamin B12 – required for normal red blood cell formation and neurological function
  • Folate (Vitamin B9) – essential for healthy cell division and red blood cell production
  • White Blood Cells and Platelets – providing a broader overview of your blood health

What's included in the test?

This test includes a total of 20 Health Markers.

  • Haemoglobin

    An iron-containing protein within red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen.

  • Hematocrit

    A measurement of the volume of red blood cells compared to the total blood volume (red blood cells and plasma).

  • Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH)

    A measurement of the average amount of haemoglobin in a single red blood cell.

  • Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)

    A measurement of haemoglobin concentration in a red blood cell relative to the cells volume.

  • Mean Cell Volume (MCV)

    A measurement of the mean size of red blood cells.

  • Red Blood Cells

    A component of blood that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body.

  • Basophils

    A type of immune white blood cell, found in the blood with enzymes that are released during allergic reactions.

  • Eosinophils

    A type of immune white blood cell that releases enzymes in response to gastrointestinal infection, allergic reaction.

  • Lymphocytes

    A type of immune white blood cell, found in the blood and in lymph tissue.

  • Monocytes

    A type of immune white blood cell that travel through the blood to kill micro-organisms and remove dead cells.

  • Neutrophils

    A type of immune white blood cell that has an important role in the immune system and helps the body fight bacterial infection.

  • White Blood Cells

    A component of blood that are part of the body’s immune system, helping the body fight infection and disease.

  • Platelets

    A component of blood that prevent bleeding and allow blood to clot.

  • Iron

    A mineral the body needs to make haemoglobin, a substance in the blood that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body.

  • Ferritin

    A protein that binds to iron and stores it for use by the body.

  • Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)

    A Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) blood test measures how well your blood can carry iron. It assesses the amount of transferrin, a protein in your blood that binds to and transports iron throughout your body. 

  • Transferrin

    A protein that transports iron through the blood to various tissues, such as the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.

  • Folic Acid

    Measures the amount of folate (vitamin B9) in your blood. This test is used to assess your folate levels, which are crucial for various bodily functions like red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, and cellular repair.

  • Vitamin B12

    A vitamin B12 blood test measures the total amount of vitamin B12 in your blood. It’s used to diagnose and monitor vitamin B12 deficiency.

  • High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP)

    The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test is a blood test that finds lower levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). Hs-CRP tests can help identify more cardiovascular issues and chronic inflammation over the long term.
