Anaemia Profile Blood Test

About this test
Anaemia — defined as haemoglobin below the reference range for age and sex — affects an estimated 1 in 10 adults in the UK and is a common cause of fatigue, breathlessness, and reduced exercise tolerance. Its causes are diverse: iron deficiency (most common), B12 or folate deficiency, chronic disease, haemolysis, or bone marrow failure. This comprehensive panel combines full blood count with iron studies, B12, folate, and inflammatory markers to identify the underlying cause rather than simply confirming anaemia is present.
Note: Includes full blood count, ferritin, serum iron, TIBC, transferrin saturation, vitamin B12, active B12 (holotranscobalamin), folic acid, and CRP.
What this test can detect
- Iron deficiency anaemia — microcytic, hypochromic anaemia with low ferritin
- Megaloblastic anaemia — macrocytic anaemia due to B12 or folate deficiency impairing DNA synthesis
- Anaemia of chronic disease — normocytic anaemia with elevated CRP in inflammatory conditions
- Mixed-deficiency anaemia — combined iron and B12/folate deficiency masking macrocytosis
Who should have this test?
- Anyone with unexplained fatigue, breathlessness, pallor, or reduced exercise tolerance
- Women with heavy menstrual periods
- Vegans and vegetarians at risk of B12 and iron deficiency
- Older adults in whom B12 deficiency and anaemia of chronic disease are common
- Individuals with gastrointestinal conditions including coeliac disease, IBD, or following gastric surgery
