Anaemia Profile I – Blood Test London

The Anaemia Profile I is a targeted blood health screening test designed to investigate common causes of anaemia, fatigue, weakness, and unexplained low energy levels. This profile evaluates key blood cell markers and iron status to provide a detailed assessment of oxygen-carrying capacity, red blood cell health, and potential iron deficiency. Ideal for individuals experiencing symptoms of anaemia or seeking a comprehensive overview of their blood health, this test supports early detection and informed clinical evaluation. Available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 4 hours.

While walk-ins are welcome, booking a slot online ensures priority service and reduces your waiting time.

Component Index

What Is Included?

This profile provides a multi-dimensional view of your blood health, combining a complete blood count with advanced iron storage markers.

Red Blood Cell Indices

Evaluates the oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood and the physical characteristics of your red blood cells.

RBC (4.52 – 6.14 1012/L)
HGB (137 – 178 g/L)
HCT (0.401 – 0.515 L/L)
MCV (78.8 – 93.5 fL)
MCH (26.3 – 32.7 pg/cell)
MCHC (325 – 362 g/L)
RDW-SD (35.4 – 45.5 fL)
RDW-CV (11.5 – 15.0 %)
Clinical focus:
Detecting types of anaemia based on red cell size, haemoglobin concentration, and distribution variation.

White Cells & Platelets

Assesses overall immune system activity and the blood’s core clotting capabilities.

WBC (3.00 – 10.00 109/L)
PLT (150 – 400 109/L)
MPV (7.0 – 13.0 fL)
PDW (9.2 – 16.7 fL)
PCT (0.15 – 0.35 %)
P-LCR (16.0 – 41.3 %)
Clinical focus:
Identifying systemic infections, immune responses, and measuring platelet volume uniformity.

Iron Metabolism & Inflammation

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

Serum Iron
Ferritin Storage
TIBC Capacity
UIBC Reserve
ESR Inflammation
Clinical focus:
Differentiating between absolute iron deficiency, functional iron deficiency, and chronic inflammation responses.

Understanding the CBC Differential and Iron Storage

The Full Blood Count (FBC) provides an immediate snapshot of your circulating cells, while the iron and ferritin panels assess your underlying nutritional reserves. Ferritin acts as your body’s “savings account” for iron. Because inflammation can artificially elevate ferritin levels, the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is included in this profile to ensure accurate interpretation and to prevent hidden deficiencies from being overlooked.

Pathology Reports

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.

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 is a healthy ferritin level?
While laboratory reference ranges vary, healthy adult levels are generally considered to be between 15 and 300 micrograms per litre.
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.
Is anaemia dangerous?
If left completely untreated, severe or chronic anaemia can lead to serious complications including heart problems and severe fatigue.
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.
Does a full blood count show iron deficiency?
A full blood count can show low haemoglobin and small red blood cells, which heavily suggests deficiency, but dedicated iron tests confirm it.
How long does it take for iron levels to improve?
It typically takes several weeks to alleviate symptoms and several months of consistent treatment to fully replenish your ferritin stores.
