Nutritional Anemia Panel Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Nutritional Anemia Panel Test to evaluate and diagnose nutritional deficiencies that can cause anemia. Anemia is a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. Common symptoms of anemia include fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
Test Components
- CBC (Complete Blood Count)
- Serum Iron Studies
- Vitamin B12
- Folate
- Ferritin
Test Details
The Nutritional Anemia Panel Test includes several components to provide a comprehensive analysis of your blood. The CBC measures the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in your blood. It also provides information about the size and shape of the red blood cells, which can help determine the type of anemia.
The Iron Studies test measures the levels of iron in your blood, as well as other markers of iron metabolism such as ferritin, transferrin, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). Iron deficiency is a common cause of anemia.
The Vitamin B12 and Folate Levels tests measure the levels of these vitamins in your blood. Deficiencies in vitamin B12 and folate can also lead to anemia.
The Serum Ferritin test measures the levels of ferritin, a protein that stores iron in your body. Low levels of ferritin can indicate iron deficiency anemia.
The Reticulocyte Count test measures the number of young red blood cells (reticulocytes) in your blood. It can help determine if your body is producing enough red blood cells to replace the ones that are being lost or destroyed.
Test Price
The cost of the Nutritional Anemia Panel Test is AED 700.0.
Sample Condition
To ensure accurate results, we require a 3 mL (2 mL minimum) serum sample from 1 SST and a 3 mL (2 mL minimum) whole blood sample in 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. Please avoid hemolysis and wrap the tube in aluminum foil to protect it from light. Overnight fasting and sampling before 12 noon is preferred. Please avoid iron supplements for at least 24 hours prior to specimen collection. Ship the samples refrigerated, but do not freeze them.
Report Delivery
We provide daily report delivery for the Nutritional Anemia Panel Test.
Method
The Nutritional Anemia Panel Test is conducted using spectrophotometry, chemiluminescent immunoassay, electrical impedance, and VCS methods.
Pre Test Information
For accurate results, please follow the pre-test instructions. Overnight fasting and sampling before 12 noon is preferred. Avoid iron supplements for at least 24 hours prior to specimen collection.
Doctor
The Nutritional Anemia Panel Test is recommended by physicians.
Test Department
The Nutritional Anemia Panel Test is conducted in our Test Department.
Conclusion
The Nutritional Anemia Panel Test is a comprehensive blood test that can help identify the underlying cause of anemia. Based on the results, appropriate treatment options can be recommended, which may include dietary changes, iron or vitamin supplementation, or other interventions. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to interpret the results and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

The Nutritional Anemia Panel test is a blood test that is used to evaluate and diagnose nutritional deficiencies that can cause anemia. Anemia is a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. The Nutritional Anemia Panel test typically includes the following components: 1. Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test measures the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood. It also provides information about the size and shape of the red blood cells, which can help determine the type of anemia. 2. Iron Studies: This test measures the levels of iron in the blood, as well as other markers of iron metabolism such as ferritin, transferrin, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC).

Low levels of ferritin can indicate iron deficiency anemia. 5. Reticulocyte Count: This test measures the number of young red blood cells (reticulocytes) in the blood. It can help determine if the body is producing enough red blood cells to replace the ones that are being lost or destroyed. The Nutritional Anemia Panel test can help identify the underlying cause of anemia and guide appropriate treatment. Treatment may involve dietary changes, iron or vitamin supplementation, or other interventions depending on the specific nutritional deficiency identified. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to interpret the results of the test and develop an appropriate treatment plan. |
