A blood panel covering iron, ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, full blood count and ESR, markers commonly used together to help assess anaemia. Suited to people with symptoms such as persistent tiredness, dizziness or breathlessness.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
This panel brings together the markers commonly used to help assess anaemia: iron and ferritin (iron stores), folate and vitamin B12 (needed to make healthy red blood cells), a full blood count with a five-part differential (which checks your different blood cell types), and ESR, a general marker of inflammation. Together these help distinguish between different possible causes of anaemia rather than just confirming low haemoglobin.
There is no comparison group recorded for this listing, so we cannot check its £295 price or scope against named peers. Against the wider set of similarly sized vitamins and minerals tests we track, its value for money score reflects that £295 sits well above the typical range. In our data this panel is also recorded as a single grouped anaemia-profile entry rather than the six individual markers the provider describes.
It scores well for clarity, given the full description, sample type, collection route and turnaround the provider publishes, and in the middle for collection convenience, since it needs a venous draw at a clinic or from a visiting nurse. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard, which limits the results and follow-up score.
This suits people with symptoms such as persistent tiredness, dizziness, breathlessness or pale skin who want a panel covering the main nutritional and blood-count causes of anaemia in one test.
Because no comparison group is recorded for this listing, we cannot point you to a specific cheaper or broader alternative. If your symptoms are severe or persistent, speak to a GP directly rather than relying on a single home or clinic test.
This test uses a venous blood sample, taken either at a clinic or by a visiting nurse. The sample is sent to the provider's laboratory, and results are typically ready within 2 working days of arrival. You view your results through the provider's secure online patient area, and its Patient Services team contacts you once they are available. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
