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.

People with chronic diseases (e.g., celiac disease)
✅ Monitoring treatment for anemia
Why This Test?
- 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!
