Apollo Anemia Profile in Raj-nagar-extension, Ghaziabad

Anaemia is a prevalent condition in every Indian household, which often remains undiagnosed. People experiencing signs and symptoms of anaemia, such as fatigue, lack of energy, dizziness, pale skin, and leg cramps, should consult a doctor and take the anaemia profile test. 

The test results reveal the levels of certain essential proteins and hormones that suggest a definitive diagnosis of anaemia. Now, compared to individual anaemia tests, the Apollo Anaemia Profile test package offers an affordable way to identify all the markers and assist in proper treatment planning.  

Tests Included in the Apollo Anaemia Profile

The tests mentioned below are included in the Apollo Anaemia Profile:

• Ferritin Test: This test measures the level of stored iron in the body. It helps to diagnose iron deficiency anaemia. 
• CRP Test (C-Reactive Protein): They are a classic marker of inflammation. Any kind of chronic inflammation in the body can impair iron absorption, thereby causing iron deficiency anaemia. 
• Folic Acid Test: This test determines the levels of folic acid in the body and helps to identify macrocytic anaemia caused by the deficiency of folate. 
• Transferrin: It is a circulating protein in blood that binds with iron. Transferrin levels in the blood can help diagnose iron deficiency as well as anaemia. 
• Iron Studies Test: Consists of a collection of blood tests that help to identify iron-deficiency anaemia. It includes CBC, serum iron test, total iron binding capacity test, etc. 
• CBC Test (Complete Blood Count): Helps determine the RBC and Hb levels in the blood. 
• HB Electrophoresis (HPLC) Test: Indicates the levels of different hemoglobins in the blood and helps in diagnosing sickle cell anaemia. 
• Vitamin B12 Test: This blood test measures the amount of vitamin B12 in blood and is a diagnostic test for vitamin B12 deficiency anaemia. 

Who Should Consider the Apollo Anaemia Profile?

People falling in the following risk factor groups should consider the Apollo Anaemia Profile:

• Having a Family History of Blood Disorders: People having a family history of blood disorders are prone to developing anaemia. 
• Pregnancy on the Way: When one is planning pregnancy, opting for this test is recommended as anaemic conditions affect the mother and the foetus significantly. 
• Abnormality in Heart Rate: Any abnormality seen in the heart rate is an indicator of anaemia.
• Heavy Blood Loss During Periods: Experiencing heavy blood flow during periods can interfere with haemoglobin levels and cause anaemia.

• Deficiency in Nutrition: Individuals consuming a diet that lacks essential vitamins and minerals are at a high risk of developing nutritional anaemia.
