What this test is

This panel of tests assesses various components related to red blood cells and oxygen transport. It is used to help determine the cause of anemia, which is a condition characterized by a deficiency in red blood cells or hemoglobin.

What it measures

Hemoglobin — the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen
Hematocrit — the proportion of red blood cells to the total blood volume
Red Blood Cell Count (RBC) — the number of red blood cells in a given volume of blood
Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) — the average size of red blood cells
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) — the average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) — the average concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells
Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) — the variation in red blood cell size

What the test involves

A healthcare professional will collect a blood sample, typically from a vein in your arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians often order anemia testing when a patient presents with symptoms like fatigue, weakness, or pale skin. It can also be used to monitor individuals with known chronic conditions that may affect red blood cell production.

Preparation

Follow any specific instructions provided by the laboratory regarding preparation for your blood draw. Some tests may require fasting.

How results are reported
