Anemia and fatigue

Print package

This test package has been carefully selected for diagnosing anemia and fatigue, which are often interconnected symptoms. CBC (complete blood count) provides insight into the number and types of blood cells, particularly red blood cells, red cell indices, and hemoglobin, which are especially important in cases of anemia and fatigue. Iron and ferritin show the body's iron reserves, whose deficiency is the most common cause of anemia. UIBC/TIBC measures the iron-binding capacity, which further clarifies iron metabolism since serum iron alone is subject to fluctuations. TSH is a hormone that regulates the release of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and is included because thyroid disorders can cause fatigue through their effect on the body's overall metabolism, as well as numerous other symptoms. Together, these tests cover some of the most common causes of anemia and fatigue and provide the doctor with useful information for making a diagnosis or determining further diagnostic steps.
