No, an anemic blood test cannot detect pregancy. It is only meant to detect low iron levels and anemia.

I am a 41 year old female experiencing abdominal pain and severe back pain. My recent reports are concerning, especially my iron and urine tests, but I am unsure who to consult for a proper diagnosis. My fasting blood sugar is 120.7, HbA1c is 6.20, CRP is 1.0, cholesterol is high (under medication for 7 years), GGT is 42.2 (I have no gall bladder), serum iron is 48.1, transferrin saturation is 13.72, and kidney function is normal. However, urine tests show blood positive with 6-7 RBCs. I have not attached all the reports. Please advise whom I should see for further evaluation and management.

My blood report is abnormal. It shows low Basophils Absolute Count 0.01, high Total RBC 6.02, low MCV 62, low MCH 17.4, low MCHC 28.2, and high RDW CV 20.2. I need to understand if I should be worried?
