How does a CBC test show vitamin and mineral deficiencies?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
CBC test is done by pricking or collecting venous blood. The test shows the nutritional status of the micronutrient blood levels of vitamins and minerals in the body. If the levels are too low, then it indicates the need of supplements which are crucial for your health.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a RHEUMATOID FACTOR IGG Test or Take a Measles IgG Antibodies Test

Sir, I have been continuously suffering from pain in the back portion of my left foot. After consulting an orthopedic doctor, he suggested a blood test for uric acid and prescribed some medicines. However, after almost two months, I have not fully recovered. Now, my left hand forefingers have also started hurting. I also consulted a urologist, who said my uric acid levels are normal and advised me to get it checked by a neurologist. Kindly suggest the possible remedies for this problem.
