Anaemia Tests

Why Anemia Testing is important?

Anaemia happens when there is an imbalance in the production of red blood cells and the destruction of red blood cells. On an average around 0.8 to 1% of red blood cells are replaced every day and their lifespan is generally between 100 to 120 days. When this process is negatively impacted, the result is anemia. Getting an Anaemia Test done is advisable to understand how serious the problem is and to determine the cause. Booking a Complete Hemogram test in Gurgaon is a simple process which can help you resolve your symptoms easily.

Reasons why Red Blood Cell production is reduced

  • Deficiency of iron, vitamin B12 or Folate.
  • Suffering from Hypothyroidism
  • Reduced stimulation of red blood cell production

Causes for Red Blood Cell destruction

  • Endometriosis
  • Periods
  • Childbirth
  • Accidents
  • Genetic disorders etc

Iron deficiency is the most common cause for anemia, however, it is advisable to get a Hemoglobin Test or Iron Deficiency Test in Gurgaon done to get definitive diagnosis.
