Iron Deficiency and Anemia Check-Up
Iron deficiency and anemia are often confused but are not the same. Iron deficiency means your body doesn’t have enough iron. Anemia can be a result of iron deficiency and occurs when there are fewer red blood cells or less hemoglobin in the blood.
To illustrate, think of it like a water tank: iron deficiency is like having low water in the tank, while anemia is when the water level is so low that the tap can't provide enough.
Anemia, characterized by a dicrease of hemoglobin, can significantly impact your overall health and well-being. Often associated with fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath, anemia can have various underlying causes.
While iron deficiency is a common culprit, especially in women due to menstrual blood loss, it's essential to consider other potential factors.

What happens if anemia is left untreated?
Anemia, if left untreated, can lead to a range of serious health complications. Since it reduces the amount of oxygen carried in the blood, vital organs and tissues may not receive adequate oxygen, leading to:
Heart problems
Fatigue and weakness
Shortness of breath and dizziness
Delayed growth and development
It's crucial to address anemia promptly to prevent these serious consequences.
Our test includes a detailed analysis of your complete blood count (CBC), CRP (to assess inflammation), iron status, folic acid (B9), and vitamin B12.
