Anemia has many causes, and standard screening with just a CBC often leaves the question unanswered. This panel systematically investigates every major category. The CBC with Differential identifies the type of anemia (microcytic, macrocytic, normocytic). The Reticulocyte Count reveals whether the bone marrow is responding appropriately. Ferritin and Iron/TIBC assess iron stores and transport — the most common deficiency. B12 and Folate screen for the nutritional causes of macrocytic anemia. Haptoglobin detects hemolytic anemia (red blood cell destruction). LDH provides another marker of hemolysis and tissue damage. Together, these tests cover iron deficiency, B12/folate deficiency, anemia of chronic disease, and hemolytic anemia — giving your provider a clear diagnosis pathway.
Deep anemia workup: CBC, Ferritin, Iron + TIBC, Reticulocyte Count, Vitamin B12, Folate, Hemoglobin Electrophoresis, Haptoglobin. Catches less common causes beyond simple nutritional deficiency.
Anyone with anemia not responding to iron/B12 supplementation, suspected hemolytic anemia, family history of sickle cell or thalassemia, unexplained microcytic anemia despite normal iron studies, complex anemia workup.
