Iron Deficiency Anemia Profile - (QUEST DIAGNOSTICS)

Description: Anemia is a blood disorder that is defined as: having fewer red blood cells than normal, or having less hemoglobin than normal (hemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that carries oxygen). When there are not enough red blood cells or there is too little hemoglobin, the blood is not able to carry enough oxygen to all parts of the body. Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common forms of anemia.

Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes:
Complete Blood Count / CBC (includes Differential and Platelets): WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Platelet Count, MPV and Differential (Absolute and Percent - Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, and Basophils)
Ferritin, Serum
Iron, Serum w/ TIBC: Total Iron, Iron Binding Capacity, % Saturation (calculated)
Reticulocyte count

Patient Instructions: Specimens should be collected in the morning from patients in a fasting state, since iron values decrease by 30% during the course of the day and there can be significant interference from lipemia. In patients receiving therapy with high biotin doses (ie, > 5 mg/day), no sample should be taken until at least eight hours after the last biotin administration.
