What you need to know about our Advanced Anaemia Test
Anaemia is a condition where your blood doesn’t carry enough oxygen to the places your body needs it. Anaemia may sound serious, but it’s very common and is often the root cause of symptoms like:
- Tiredness and fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Light-headedness
- Pale skin
Anaemia is usually caused by either losing blood from somewhere or not making enough haemoglobin (that’s your blood’s oxygen-carrying molecule). For example, women (pre-menopausal) will lose blood with their monthly cycle, and this can often cause anaemia. Vegetarians and vegans may not get enough iron or vitamin B12 in their diet which can also be a cause.
Our Advanced Anaemia Blood Test will not only check if you have anaemia but also screen for common causes. This means you’ll know what to change in your diet or lifestyle, or which supplements will sort it out.

This blood test will check for anaemia (low haemoglobin level in the blood) and also screen for the common causes of anaemia - iron or vitamin B12 deficiency. This means you'll get certainty over whether or not you have anaemia and what you might be able to change in your diet, lifestyle or supplements to sort it out.
We do not recommend using this test panel if you:

- are pregnant
