This test measures the percentage of red blood cells in the blood which carry oxygen to all parts of the body. It also helps diagnose certain conditions which are caused due to too many or few red blood cells such as anemia.

Take a GLUCOSE - SERUM / PLASMA (1/2 HR) Test or Take a Urine Albumin Test Test
