The function of the red cells is to transport oxygen to the body tissues and organs.

This deficiency can be characterized by several symptoms, such as fatigue, a pale complexion, cold hands and feet, headaches, numbness, the sensation of palpitations and shortness of breath during strenuous activity.

There are several types of anemias, of which iron deficiency anemia represents the total absence of iron in the blood. There are also aplastic anemia, inflammatory anemia and falciform red cell anemia.

The best-known causes are the blood losses caused by gastrointestinal bleeding, abundant menses, the insufficient production of red cells by the bone marrow and malnutrition, which can lead to vitamin deficiencies.

We offer several profiles of anemia tests ; here is the list of the blood tests linked to this health problem :
