The periodic tests for anemia (or low hemoglobin levels in the blood) are of great importance in assessing and monitoring overall health and detecting any health problems early. Here are some reasons why these tests are necessary:
Early detection of anemia: Regular tests allow for the early detection of any decrease in hemoglobin levels, providing an opportunity to identify the cause of anemia and take appropriate treatment and management measures.
Identifying the cause of anemia, which aids in effective treatment.
Assessing the severity of anemia.
Evaluating the response to treatment.
Monitoring overall health: Anemia may be a symptom of another health issue, such as gastrointestinal problems or immune disorders. Periodic tests help assess overall health and determine if there are any other influencing factors.
Reducing the risk of complications: Severe anemia can lead to serious complications such as weakened immunity and negative effects on vital organs like the heart and nervous system. Regular tests help in early management to reduce these risks.
When should this panel be done? It is recommended to have this panel done periodically every 3 months for those with anemia problems.

Iron tests measure different substances in the blood to check iron levels in your body. Iron is a mineral that's essential for making red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Iron is also important for healthy muscles, bone marrow, and organ function. Iron levels that are too low or too high can cause serious health problems.
Unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC) is a blood test most frequently used along with a serum iron test and a total iron-binding capacity test (TIBC) to evaluate people suspected of having either iron deficiency or iron overload.
Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron. A ferritin test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body stores. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your bodys iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency. As a result, you could be anemic.
