Anaemia Profile II – Blood Test in London

The Anaemia II Profile is a comprehensive blood test designed to investigate anaemia and identify nutrient deficiencies that may affect red blood cell production and overall health. This profile assesses blood cell health, inflammation markers, iron status, folate, and Vitamin B12 levels to help detect common causes of anaemia, fatigue, weakness, and low energy levels. Ideal for individuals experiencing symptoms of nutritional deficiency or suspected anaemia, this test provides valuable insights into blood health and nutrient status. Available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 4 hours.

Nutrient Deficiency Focus

Anaemia II

This profile helps evaluate your blood health and identify causes of anaemia related to nutrient deficiencies. It provides a detailed picture of your blood cells, measures inflammation, and checks important nutrients for red blood cell production, including iron, folate, and vitamin B12.

Component Index

What Is Included?

This profile provides a multi-dimensional view of your blood health, targeting essential vitamins alongside complete blood count metrics.

Complete Blood Cell Indices

Evaluates the oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood, along with your immune fighting cells and clotting functions.

RBC (Red Blood Cells)
WBC (White Blood Cells)
Platelets
HGB (Haemoglobin)
HCT (Haematocrit)
MCV (Mean Cell Volume)
Clinical focus:
Detecting types of anaemia based on red cell size, haemoglobin concentration, and distribution variation.

Essential Nutrients

Checks the crucial vitamins strictly required for DNA synthesis and healthy red blood cell formation.

Folate (Vitamin B9)
Vitamin B12
Clinical focus:
Identifying megaloblastic anaemia and neurological symptoms caused by long term nutritional shortfalls.

Iron & Inflammation

Measures circulating iron levels and systemic inflammation markers which can interfere with iron usage.

Serum Iron
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)
Clinical focus:
Detecting low iron supply in the blood stream and assessing underlying inflammatory conditions.

Understanding Vitamin B12, Folate, and Blood Cells

The Full Blood Count (FBC) provides an immediate snapshot of your circulating cells, while the vitamin panel investigates the building blocks required to make them. Vitamin B12 and Folate are essential for DNA synthesis during red blood cell production. A deficiency in these can lead to cells becoming unusually large and functionally immature. Testing ESR alongside iron ensures that inflammation is monitored, as chronic inflammation can mimic symptoms of nutritional anaemia.

How To Read Your Laboratory Results

Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Important: A single out of range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your medical history and clinical examination.

Results Timeline: Profile metrics are typically available within just 4 hours. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before the test?
No, there are no special preparation instructions required for the Anaemia Profile II. You may eat and drink as normal.
How quickly will I get my results?
Your comprehensive results are processed quickly and will be ready within 4 hours of sample collection.
Can I walk in, or do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome at the clinic, but booking a slot online is highly recommended to ensure priority service.
What should I do if my results are abnormal?
If your markers are outside the reference range, we strongly recommend booking a Private GP consultation with us to review them.
Is the phlebotomy fee included in the price?
No, the £21 phlebotomy service fee is separate and payable directly at the clinic.
Will my results be sent securely?
Yes, your laboratory results will be delivered securely and privately to the email address provided.
Do I need a doctor’s referral for this profile?
No referral is needed. You can book this test independently to investigate your own health.
Can I take my vitamin supplements before the test?
It is generally advised to avoid taking B12 or iron supplements right before your blood draw, as they can cause temporary spikes in your blood levels and mask true deficiencies.

Most Searched Online Questions About Anaemia

What are the main symptoms of anaemia?
The most common signs include persistent fatigue, weakness, unusually pale skin, shortness of breath, and feeling dizzy or lightheaded.
Why do we need Vitamin B12 and Folate?
Both vitamins are vital for the formation of healthy red blood cells and proper nerve function. A lack of either can cause megaloblastic anaemia.
Is fatigue a common sign of nutrient deficiency?
Yes, fatigue is typically the earliest and most pronounced symptom because your body struggles to produce enough oxygen carrying red blood cells.
What causes B12 deficiency?
Common causes include a vegan or vegetarian diet lacking in B12, or absorption issues in the stomach and intestines such as pernicious anaemia.
Can inflammation affect blood test results?
Yes, systemic inflammation can interfere with how your body uses iron, which is why testing ESR provides a much clearer picture of your overall health.
Is anaemia dangerous?
If left completely untreated, severe or chronic anaemia can lead to serious complications including heart problems, nerve damage, and severe fatigue.
Does a full blood count show vitamin deficiency?
A full blood count can show unusually large red blood cells, which heavily suggests a B12 or Folate deficiency, but dedicated tests confirm it.
