VITAMIN

Blood Cells (1 Biomarkers)

A full blood count can be used to check your overall health and can detect a wide range of issues such as infection, anemia and leukemia. A full blood count will look at your red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Please note that full blood counts can only be done through an in-store appointment and cannot be run on finger prick samples.

Full Blood Count

Full Blood Count (FBC) provides information about the different cells in the blood, these include the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells contain haemoglobin which carries oxygen to the different tissues in the body whereas white blood cells control the immune system and protects the body from foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. FBC testing are used as a screening test for various disorders like anaemia and infections.

Iron Studies (5 Biomarkers)

Iron studies are a set of blood tests used to measure the amount of iron carried in the blood and stored in the bodies tissues. Iron deficiency can be the cause of a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, chest pains and a shortness of breath.

Iron

Iron is a mineral which is needed for making red blood cells, which transports oxygen in the blood, and important for healthy muscles, bone marrow and organ function. Iron is measured to show the amount of iron in the blood. Low levels of iron can indicate anaemia whereas high levels can indicate liver disease.

Total Iron Binding Concentration

Total Iron Binding Concentration (TIBC) is the maximum amount of iron that can be transported in the blood. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. TIBC tests are used to determine iron status and its absorption. This can be used to help diagnose Anaemia and iron overload conditions such as Haemochromatosis. Your TIBC will be impaired if you also have existing liver disease.

Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration

Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration (UIBC) is the amount of transferrin that is reserved for the iron transportation. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. UIBC tests are used to monitor treatment for iron toxicity.

Ferritin

Ferritin is a blood protein that is used to store iron. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. It is measured to understand how much iron the body stores. Ferritin test are used to diagnose anaemia and liver disease.

Transferrin

Transferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein that is produced by the liver. It is used to transport iron which transports oxygen in the blood. Transferrin tests are used to determine iron status and can be used to diagnose anaemia.

Vitamin (Biomarkers)

Vitamins are a group of substances that our bodies need for normal cell function, growth and development. Vitamin deficiencies can be the cause of a wide range of common symptoms and conditions.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a vitamin which is used in the regulation of calcium and magnesium absorption from the gut, it is also important for the growth and health of bones. Vitamin D comes from two sources; it can be ingested from foods and supplements or be produced in the skin once it is exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D tests are used to identify vitamin D deficiency and to monitor disease that interfere with fat absorption like Crohn’s disease.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is a vitamin which is necessary for the formation of red blood cells, tissue and cellular repairs and nerve health. It can be found in animal products such as poultry, milk and eggs. Vitamin B12 tests are used to help diagnose the cause of anaemia.

Folate

Folate (Vitamin B9) is a vitamin which is necessary for the formation of red blood cells, tissue and cellular repairs and is important during pregnancy. It can be found in leafy green vegetables, yeast and citrus fruits. Folate tests are used to help diagnose the cause of anaemia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anaemia Blood Tests

Understanding Pernicious Anaemia and Its Diagnosis

Pernicious anaemia is a specific type of anaemia caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B12, which is essential for red blood cell production. This condition often results from the body’s inability to absorb Vitamin B12 efficiently. Early diagnosis through specific tests, including measuring Vitamin B12 levels and a full blood count, is crucial for effective management. Highlighting the importance of these diagnostic tests in your content can attract readers looking for comprehensive information on identifying and treating pernicious anaemia.

Nutritional Strategies: Foods High in Iron and Key Vitamins

Proper nutrition plays a pivotal role in the prevention and management of anaemia. Consuming foods high in iron, such as spinach, red meat, beans, and fortified cereals, can help increase iron levels in the body. Additionally, ensuring adequate intake of Vitamin B12 and Folate is vital for red blood cell production. Vitamin B12 can be found in animal products like meat, dairy, and eggs, while folate is abundant in leafy greens, legumes, and citrus fruits. Including detailed dietary advice in your content can help readers understand how to support their health through nutrition.

The Role of Ferritin and Full Blood Count in Anaemia Management

Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron and is a critical marker for assessing iron stores in the body. Measuring ferritin levels can help diagnose iron deficiency anaemia and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. A full blood count (FBC) is another essential test that evaluates overall blood health and identifies various types of anaemia. By explaining the significance of these tests in your content, you can guide readers on what to expect during diagnosis and follow-up for anaemia.

Connection Between Anaemia and Diabetes: The Hba1C Test

For individuals with diabetes, managing anaemia is particularly important, as it can complicate diabetes control. The Hba1C test measures average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months and is crucial for diabetes management. Anaemia can affect Hba1C results, potentially leading to inaccurate readings. Addressing the interplay between anaemia and diabetes in your content can provide valuable insights for those managing both conditions, ensuring they receive accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
