This group of tests is used to diagnose anemia and determine its type and underlying cause, whether due to iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies such as B12 and folate, or genetic disorders like sickle cell anemia or G6PD deficiency. The tests also assess the blood’s ability to carry oxygen, monitor stored iron levels, measure transferrin saturation, and detect any red blood cell breakdown. Through these tests, the doctor can develop an appropriate treatment plan, including dietary supplements or medical interventions, to restore hemoglobin levels and overall blood function to normal.
A set of medical tests aimed at evaluating hemoglobin levels and investigating the causes of anemia, including assessment of iron, essential vitamins, and overall blood function.

Everything you need to know about this test, from preparation to results
The portion of bilirubin processed by the liver to become water-soluble, used to assess liver and bile duct health.
Total bilirubin is a compound produced from the breakdown of red blood cells and is measured to assess liver and bile duct health.
A blood test used as a routine screening test. It also helps diagnose medical conditions like infections, anemia, and blood disorders.
Is an enzyme found in most body tissues that helps convert sugar into energy.
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body and releases it when the body needed.
Iron is an essential mineral in the body that forms hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood.
Vitamin B12 test measures the level of vitamin B12 in the blood, which is essential for nerve health and red blood cell formation
tamin that helps in the formation of red blood cells, DNA production, and healthy cell growth, especially important during pregnancy.
G6PD test measures the activity of the enzyme that protects red blood cells from damage and prevents their breakdown.
The sickle cell test detects the presence of abnormally shaped red blood cells, used to diagnose sickle cell disease or identify carriers.
The transferrin saturation test measures the percentage of iron bound to the iron-carrying protein (transferrin) in the blood, indicating the body’s available iron.
The transferrin test measures the level of the iron-transporting protein in the blood, helping to evaluate the body’s iron status.
UIBC measures the unsaturated iron-binding capacity in the blood, meaning how much iron the transport protein transferrin can still bind. It helps assess the body’s iron stores.
CK-MB test measures a specific enzyme in the blood that indicates heart muscle damage.
Urine test to detect early kidney damage by measuring albumin relative to creatinine.
