The Anemia Health - Basic Plus panel contains 6 tests with 60 biomarkers .
Brief Description: The Anemia Health - Basic Plus panel enhances the foundational assessment of anemia by incorporating additional tests that provide insights into inflammation and iron storage, alongside the essential evaluations of blood components and iron metabolism. This panel includes C-Reactive Protein, Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Ferritin, Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity, and Transferrin tests.
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 - Basic Plus Panel May Be Ordered
The Anemia Health - Basic Plus panel is ordered when there are signs or symptoms suggestive of anemia, such as fatigue, pallor, shortness of breath, or dizziness. It is also used to investigate the underlying causes of anemia, monitor the effectiveness of treatment in diagnosed cases, and evaluate the overall health status of individuals with conditions that might affect blood production or iron levels.
What the Anemia Health - Basic Plus Panel Checks For
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP): Measures the level of CRP in the blood to assess inflammation, which can contribute to or result from anemia.
- Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets: Provides detailed information on the various blood cells, crucial for diagnosing anemia and understanding its type.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Evaluates liver and kidney function, electrolyte balance, and blood glucose levels, which can be affected by or contribute to anemia.
- Ferritin: Indicates the amount of iron stored in the body, providing insight into iron-deficiency anemia or iron overload conditions.
- Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): Measures blood iron levels and the protein's capacity to bind iron, essential for diagnosing different types of anemia.
- Transferrin: A protein that transports iron in the blood; its measurement helps evaluate iron metabolism and availability.
Expanding Insights with Advanced Anemia Health Panels
For a deeper investigation into anemia and its causes, consider the more comprehensive panels:
- Anemia Health - Advanced panel: Adds Folate Serum, Reticulocyte Count, and Sickle Cell Screen to the Basic Plus panel, providing insights into red blood cell production and potential hereditary anemia conditions.
- Anemia Health - Comprehensive panel: The most detailed panel, incorporating Erythropoietin, Fecal Globin by Immunochemistry, Homocysteine, and Vitamin B12 tests, offering a thorough evaluation of anemia's underlying causes, including nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal bleeding.
Conditions and Diseases Detected by the Anemia Health - Basic Plus Panel
This panel aids in diagnosing and managing various anemia forms and related conditions:
- Iron Deficiency Anemia: Characterized by low ferritin and iron levels, with high TIBC and transferrin.
- Anemia of Chronic Disease: Indicated by normal or elevated ferritin levels with low iron levels, often accompanied by elevated CRP due to underlying inflammation.
- Liver and Kidney Related Anomalies: CMP results can point to liver or kidney conditions that may contribute to anemia.
Using the Anemia Health - Basic Plus Panel Results in Clinical Practice
Healthcare professionals use this panel's results to:
- Identify the Type of Anemia: Distinguishing between iron deficiency anemia, anemia of chronic disease, and other types based on iron studies and ferritin levels.
- Assess Inflammation's Role: Using CRP levels to determine if inflammation is a contributing factor to anemia.
- Monitor Treatment Efficacy: Evaluating changes in blood and iron parameters to assess the response to treatments like iron supplementation or anti-inflammatory medications.
The Anemia Health - Basic Plus panel offers a robust framework for diagnosing anemia, understanding its potential causes, and guiding treatment strategies. By combining essential blood tests with markers of iron storage and inflammation, healthcare providers can gain valuable insights into their patients' health, leading to targeted interventions and improved outcomes. For those requiring an even more comprehensive evaluation, the Advanced and Comprehensive panels provide additional layers of diagnostic detail, enabling a deeper understanding of anemia's complexities and nuances.
We advise having your results reviewed by a licensed medical healthcare professional for proper interpretation of your results.
