Anaemia Profile
The Anaemia Profile is designed to evaluate and diagnose various types of anaemia by measuring key biomarkers related to iron metabolism and blood health. This profile includes Ferritin, which indicates iron stores in the body; Folate (Vitamin B9) and Vitamin B12, both crucial for red blood cell production and overall blood health; and Iron, which is essential for hemoglobin formation. Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) measures the blood's capacity to bind iron with transferrin, while Transferrin Saturation assesses the percentage of transferrin that is saturated with iron. Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration provides information on the amount of iron that can

DESCRIPTION
The Anaemia Profile is designed to evaluate and diagnose various types of anaemia by measuring key biomarkers related to iron metabolism and blood health. This profile includes Ferritin, which indicates iron stores in the body; Folate (Vitamin B9) and Vitamin B12, both crucial for red blood cell production and overall blood health; and Iron, which is essential for hemoglobin formation. Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) measures the blood’s capacity to bind iron with transferrin, while Transferrin Saturation assesses the percentage of transferrin that is saturated with iron. Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration provides information on the amount of iron that can still be bound by transferrin. Additionally, Full Blood Count (FBC) is included to give a comprehensive overview of red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, and other critical parameters. This profile helps in diagnosing anaemia types, understanding iron status, and identifying potential deficiencies or imbalances affecting red blood cell production. The Anaemia Profile is a laboratory test that measures various parameters related to the red blood cells and their ability to carry oxygen. This test is typically done to diagnose and monitor different types of anemia, which is a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a decrease in their ability to function properly. The Anaemia Profile includes several components such as a complete blood count (FBC), which provides information about the number and size of red blood cells, hemoglobin levels, and hematocrit. It also includes tests like iron studies, which measure the levels of iron in the blood, and vitamin B12 and folate levels, which are important for red blood cell production. This test is commonly ordered when a person presents symptoms of anemia such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, or dizziness. It helps healthcare providers determine the underlying cause of the anemia, such as iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, chronic diseases, or genetic disorders. The results of the Anaemia Profile can guide the appropriate treatment and management of the condition.
BIO MARKER
Ferritin
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. Low levels can indicate iron deficiency anaemia, while high levels can suggest iron overload or inflammation. Testing ferritin helps assess iron status.
Folate (Vitamin B9)
Folate (vitamin B9) is a vitamin essential for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. Low levels can lead to anaemia and other health issues. Testing folate helps diagnose deficiencies and monitor health.
Full Blood Count (FBC)
Full Blood Count (FBC) measures various components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It helps diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions, such as anaemia and infections.
Iron
Iron is a mineral essential for producing haemoglobin in red blood cells. Low levels can indicate anaemia, while high levels can suggest iron overload. Testing iron helps diagnose and manage these conditions.
Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
Transferrin Saturation
Transferrin Saturation measures the percentage of transferrin bound with iron. It helps assess iron status and diagnose conditions such as iron deficiency anaemia or iron overload.
Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration
Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration measures the amount of iron that is not bound to transferrin in the blood. Elevated levels can suggest iron deficiency or chronic disease, while low levels can indicate iron overload.
