ANAEMIA PROFILE BASIC

(Ferritin-Serum, Folic Acid/Folate, Vitamin B12-Cabalamin) Red blood cells and haemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that makes them red, are important because they carry oxygen from the lungs around the body. Anaemia is when you don’t have enough red blood cells or haemoglobin. There are many different causes of anaemia. The most common type of anaemia is iron-deficiency anaemia, which is usually caused by not eating or absorbing enough iron, or by losing blood. It’s important to treat the cause of anaemia so it doesn’t recur.
