Anemia Test – Complete Assessment of the Causes of Anemia

THE Lab in the Box Anemia Test analyzes the 3 essential markers to identify the main causes of anemia: Ferritin, Folic Acid, and Transferrin . Ideal for those experiencing constant fatigue, paleness, or lack of energy, this test helps detect nutritional deficiencies and guide appropriate treatment.

🔹 Accurate Diagnosis:

  • Ferritin → Iron reserves in the body
  • Folic Acid (B9) → Production of healthy red blood cells
  • Transferrin → Transportation and use of iron

🔹 Advantages:

  • Home collection (simple finger prick)
  • Results in 24-48h by email
  • Medical monitoring available


Evaluated Parameters

Biomarker Function Normal Values * Risks if Changed
Ferritin Stores iron for hemoglobin production Men: 30-400 ng/mL
Women: 15-150 ng/mL		 Low: Iron deficiency anemia
High: Inflammation or iron overload
Folic Acid Essential for the formation of red blood cells and DNA > 3.0 ng/mL Deficiency: Megaloblastic anemia
Transferrin Transports iron in the blood 200-360 mg/dL High: Iron deficiency
Summit: Chronic Disease

*Reference values may vary depending on the laboratory.

Why This Test?

  1. Differentiates causes:
  • Low ferritin → Iron deficiency anemia (common in women)
  • Low folic acid → Megaloblastic anemia (low folate diet)
  • High transferrin → Signals untreated iron deficiency

2. Guides treatment:

  • Iron or vitamin B9 supplementation as needed
  • Dietary adjustments (e.g., red meat for iron; spinach for folate)

Practical Example:
Result with Ferritin = 10 ng/mL + High Transferrin confirms iron deficiency anemia, requiring supplementation and investigation of blood loss.

Notice:
Altered results should be interpreted by a doctor. Untreated anemia can worsen heart disease!
