Anaemia Profile-I (Basic) is a panel of blood tests used to diagnose anemia and identify its underlying cause. It usually includes hemoglobin, RBC count, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, serum iron, and sometimes peripheral smear. Anemia reduces the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity, leading to fatigue and organ dysfunction if untreated.
Why Is This Test Recommended?
Anaemia Profile-I testing is recommended to detect anemia, identify iron deficiency, and investigate symptoms like weakness or fatigue. It is used to monitor anemia treatment effectiveness and assess response to nutritional or medical interventions. Different patterns in the test results help distinguish iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency anemia, or chronic disease-related anemia.
What Do the Results Indicate?
Low hemoglobin and red cell parameters indicate anemia. The specific pattern of MCV, MCH, and MCHC helps identify the type: low MCV suggests iron deficiency, high MCV indicates vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, and normal MCV may point to chronic disease or blood loss. Results guide appropriate nutritional or medical treatment.
How Is the Test Performed and Prepared For?
A blood sample is collected through standard venipuncture for laboratory analysis. Fasting may be advised, typically 8-12 hours before the test. The sample is analyzed for hemoglobin levels, red blood cell count, and various red cell indices.
