Do You Have Anemia? Find Out With an Accurate Test

Blood drawn from finger for anemia testing

The best way to treat anemia is to know the cause

Anemia is the most frequently occurring blood condition in the United States, and it’s caused by low blood cell and hemoglobin levels. Because the blood of anemic patients doesn't carry enough oxygen, it’s common to feel fatigued as a result, among other, more troubling symptoms. The causes of anemia can range from a simple nutritional deficiency to serious diseases, including cancer. Getting your blood tested is key; once you’ve identified that you are anemic, you can work with your doctor to figure out—and treat—the cause.

What do anemia tests look for?

  • Test your chemistry profile (complete metabolic panel with lipids)
  • Measure your complete blood count (CBC)
  • Measure body chemistry levels of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, including your total iron binding capacity (TIBC), as well as vitamin B12 and folate levels
