The Anemia Health - Advanced panel contains 9 tests with 64 biomarkers .
Brief Description: The Anemia Health - Advanced panel is a thorough diagnostic tool designed to evaluate various factors that contribute to anemia. This panel extends beyond basic anemia screening by including tests that assess inflammation, iron metabolism, red blood cell production, and potential hereditary conditions. It comprises C-Reactive Protein, Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Ferritin, Folate Serum, Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity, Reticulocyte Count, Sickle Cell Screen, and Transferrin.
Collection Method: Blood Draw
Specimen Type: Whole Blood and Serum
Test Preparation: Patient should be fasting for at least 12 hours prior to collection. Specimen collection should be done in the morning.
When and Why the Anemia Health - Advanced Panel May Be Ordered
Healthcare providers may order this panel for patients exhibiting symptoms of anemia or those with conditions that predispose them to anemia, such as chronic diseases, nutritional deficiencies, or genetic disorders. It's particularly useful for individuals whose basic anemia tests have indicated abnormalities, requiring further investigation to determine the specific type and cause of anemia.
What the Anemia Health - Advanced Panel Checks For
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP): A marker of inflammation that can indicate conditions leading to or resulting from anemia.
- Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets: Offers a detailed view of blood cells, crucial for diagnosing anemia and understanding its severity and type.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Evaluates liver and kidney function, electrolyte balance, and more, providing insights into organ systems that can impact anemia.
- Ferritin: Reflects the body's iron stores, essential for identifying iron deficiency or overload.
- Folate Serum: Measures folate levels; deficiencies can lead to megaloblastic anemia.
- Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): Assess iron levels and the blood's capacity to transport iron, vital for diagnosing various anemia forms.
- Reticulocyte Count: Indicates the rate of new red blood cell production, helping to distinguish between anemia types based on bone marrow activity.
- Sickle Cell Screen: Screens for sickle cell trait or disease, a genetic form of anemia.
- Transferrin: A protein that transports iron in the bloodstream, with levels reflecting iron metabolism.
Expanding Insights with the Anemia Health - Comprehensive Panel
For the most extensive evaluation of anemia and its underlying causes, the Anemia Health - Comprehensive panel adds Erythropoietin, Fecal Globin by Immunochemistry, Homocysteine, and Vitamin B12 tests to the Advanced panel. This panel provides an in-depth analysis, including assessments of erythropoietin (a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production), potential gastrointestinal bleeding, homocysteine levels (which can impact cardiovascular health and are related to B12 and folate metabolism), and Vitamin B12 levels (essential for red blood cell formation and neurological function).
Conditions and Diseases Detected by the Anemia Health - Advanced Panel
This panel can identify and help manage various anemia types and related conditions:
- Iron Deficiency Anemia: Characterized by low ferritin and iron levels, and high TIBC.
- Megaloblastic Anemia: Due to folate or Vitamin B12 deficiency, affecting red blood cell size and DNA synthesis.
- Anemia of Chronic Disease: Showcased by normal or elevated ferritin with low iron levels, often accompanied by high CRP due to inflammation.
- Hemolytic Anemia: Indicated by an increased reticulocyte count, reflecting an elevated rate of red blood cell destruction and production.
- Sickle Cell Anemia: Identified through the sickle cell screen, a genetic condition leading to abnormal hemoglobin.
Using the Anemia Health - Advanced Panel Results in Clinical Practice
Healthcare professionals leverage the results from the Anemia Health - Advanced panel to:
- Determine Anemia Type: Utilizing comprehensive blood counts, iron studies, and folate levels to diagnose the specific type of anemia.
- Identify Underlying Causes: Assessing CRP and metabolic panel results to understand potential chronic diseases or organ dysfunctions contributing to anemia.
- Tailor Treatment Strategies: Guided by specific deficiencies or excesses in iron, folate, or other factors, and managing underlying conditions contributing to anemia.
The Anemia Health - Advanced panel offers a robust framework for diagnosing and understanding the multifaceted nature of anemia. By combining detailed blood analysis with iron studies and screenings for genetic conditions, this panel enables healthcare providers to pinpoint the type of anemia, identify its causes, and implement effective treatment plans. For those requiring a broader analysis, the Comprehensive panel extends the diagnostic capabilities even further, ensuring a thorough assessment of anemia and its underlying factors, fostering informed clinical decisions and optimized patient care.
