Anaemia III Blood Test London

The Anaemia III Profile is a comprehensive blood health screening test designed to investigate the underlying causes of anaemia and assess overall blood health. This advanced profile evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, iron status, folate, and Vitamin B12 levels to help identify nutritional deficiencies, iron deficiency anaemia, vitamin deficiency anaemia, and other blood-related conditions. Ideal for individuals experiencing fatigue, weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath, or suspected anaemia, this test provides a detailed assessment of oxygen-carrying capacity and nutritional health. Available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 4 hours.

Component Index

What Is Included?

This robust profile provides a comprehensive view of your blood health, combining a complete blood count with advanced iron metrics and essential vitamins.

Full Blood Count (FBC)

Evaluates the oxygen carrying capacity of your blood, along with your white cells and platelets.

RBC
WBC
HGB
HCT
MCV
PLT
Differential
Clinical focus:
Detecting types of anaemia based on red cell size, haemoglobin concentration, and distribution variation.

Advanced Iron & Inflammation

Measures circulating iron, biological iron storage reserves, transport capacity, and systemic inflammation.

Iron
Ferritin
Transferrin
Transferrin Saturation
TIBC
UIBC
ESR
Clinical focus:
Differentiating between absolute iron deficiency, functional iron deficiency, and chronic inflammation responses.

Essential Nutrients

Checks key vitamins that are absolutely essential for healthy red blood cell production.

Vitamin B12
Folate
Clinical focus:
Identifying nutritional deficiencies that directly cause specific macrocytic forms of anaemia.

The Importance of B12 and Folate

While iron is famous for its role in blood health, Vitamin B12 and Folate are equally critical. A deficiency in either of these nutrients can prevent your body from producing healthy red blood cells, leading to a different form of anaemia. By combining iron testing with B12 and Folate markers, the Anaemia Profile III offers a highly complete diagnostic picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before the test?
No, there are no special fasting or preparation instructions required for the Anaemia Profile III.
Why does this profile include B12 and Folate?
Low levels of Vitamin B12 or Folate can cause red blood cells to become abnormally large and function poorly, leading to fatigue. Testing these helps distinguish between iron deficiency and vitamin deficiency.
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 eat and drink normally before the test?
Yes, you can eat and drink normally prior to your phlebotomy appointment.

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.
How do I raise my iron levels safely?
You can improve levels safely through dietary changes, targeted iron supplements prescribed by a doctor, and identifying underlying medical causes.
Is fatigue a common sign of iron 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 iron deficiency?
Common causes include a diet lacking in iron, blood loss, increased demands during pregnancy, or an inability to properly absorb iron from food.
Can inflammation affect blood test results?
Yes, systemic inflammation can artificially raise ferritin levels, which is why testing ESR alongside iron markers provides a much clearer picture.
What is the difference between iron and ferritin?
Iron is the circulating mineral found in your blood, while ferritin is a specific protein that securely stores iron in your body’s cells for later use.
