Anaemia Profile
Combines a full blood count with iron, B12 and folate. It describes the shape and supply of your red blood cells.
What this tells you
A full blood count with iron, B12 and folate together — the markers that describe whether red blood cells are being made in the usual numbers and whether the raw materials for making them are present.
Results are returned and explained privately by the clinic. Nothing is published on this website.
How to prepare
No fasting or preparation needed. Drinking water in the hour before you arrive makes the sample quicker and more comfortable to take.
