Anemia means a person has low levels of red blood cells, or that their cells don’t function in the proper manner. Symptoms like headaches, chest pain, and dizziness are common, but the causes of anemia can vary.
The volume and quality of red blood cells can be evaluated with several blood tests. The DrOwl app helps patients manage and organize lab tests and other medical records and also helps clarify confusing clinical terms and jargon using AI.
The most common form of the disorder, iron-deficiency anemia occurs due to blood loss or because of a lack of dietary iron. Some people become anemic because of a chronic inflammatory disease or another health condition. Cancer, liver disease, and inherited conditions like sickle cell anemia may also cause problems with red blood cells.
Healthcare staff use different blood tests to assess the health of your red blood cells:
