Anemia Test in Melaka
Anemia Testing
If you’re feeling fatigued, weak, or experiencing other unexplained symptoms, you might be dealing with anemia. Anemia occurs when your body doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen effectively. Our anemia testing and iron blood test services at Klinik Liysha can help identify the cause of your symptoms and guide you toward the right treatment plan.
Why Should You Get Tested For Anemia?
While anemia is common, its causes can vary significantly. Iron deficiency is the leading cause of anemia worldwide, accounting for about 50% of all anemia cases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Without enough iron, your body can’t produce sufficient hemoglobin, leading to anemia.
Anemia isn’t always a standalone issue. Sometimes, it’s a secondary symptom of another health condition like kidney disease, inflammatory disorders and cancers. Catching anemia early and finding the root cause can help you stay on top of your health, which is why testing is important.
Symptoms That May Indicate Anemia
Not sure if you need an anemia test? Look out for these common symptoms:
- Persistent fatigue or weakness
- Shortness of breath
- Pale or yellowish skin
- Cold hands and feet
- Brittle nails or hair loss
- Chest pain or irregular heartbeat
If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, anemia testing can provide the answers you need.
What Does Anemia Testing Involve?
Our anemia testing services include a series of simple blood tests designed to pinpoint the underlying cause of your condition. Our experienced medical team ensures the testing process is quick, accurate, and tailored to your specific needs.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Measures your red blood cells, hemoglobin levels, and hematocrit to determine the presence and severity of anemia.
Iron Studies
Tests such as serum iron, ferritin, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) assess your body’s iron levels and storage.
Vitamin Testing
Identifies deficiencies in vitamin B12 and folate, which are critical for red blood cell production.
Additional Testing (if needed)
Reticulocyte count, peripheral blood smear, or tests for chronic conditions may be recommended to further investigate the cause.
Process of An Anemia Blood Test
What to Expect During the Anemia Test
There’s usually little to no special preparation required for an iron blood test, but your doctor might ask you to fast for 8-12 hours beforehand. The blood draw takes only a few minutes:
Preparation: The technician will clean a small area of your arm with an antiseptic. They’ll locate a vein, usually in the crook of your elbow.
Drawing Blood: A small needle is inserted into the vein, and a vial is filled with your blood. You may feel a slight pinch or prick, but the discomfort is minimal and brief.
Once your test results are ready, your doctor will decide on a treatment plan. This may include changing your diet to be more iron rich or prescribing supplements to boost your iron levels.If your anemia stems from a vitamin deficiency, such as low levels of B12 or folate, treatment might involve oral supplements or injections to replenish these essential nutrients.
