Anemia is the condition of having a lower than normal amount of red blood cells or lower than normal quantity of hemoglobin which diminishes the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen. There are several causes of anemia and anemic patients may fatigue easily, become short of breath, feel tired or develop palpitations often impairing their quality of life.
For in vitro diagnostic use.
Abbott’s core laboratory assays, combined with Hematology screening, provide a reliable, holistic view of patient health in the detection of anemia and identification of cause. By measuring iron, ferritin, haptoglobin, transferrin and folate (or folic acid), anemia and its causes can be accurately distinguished through the identification of iron deficiency anemia, Vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies causing megaloblastic anemia leading to the right course of treatment.
