What is a Same Day Anaemia Blood test?
Anaemia is a condition that means a deficiency of healthy red blood cells. Anaemia can be temporary or long-term and ranges from mild to moderate, depending on haemoglobin.
Why should you get one?
The signs and symptoms of anaemia vary depending on the cause. Depending on the cause of the anaemia, you may have no symptoms. However, the symptoms may be:
- Fatigue.
- Weakness.
- Difficulty breathing.
- Chest pain.
- Dizziness or confusion.

- Haemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
- MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin): average haemoglobin in one of your red cells.
- MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration): haemoglobin concentration in a given packed red cell volume.
- MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume): average volume of a red blood corpuscle.
- RDW-CV: range of red cell volume variations in percentage.
- RDW-SD: range of red cell volume variations in femtolitre.
- Red Cell Count (RBC): how many red cells do you have?

- Eosinophils combat parasites and certain infections.

- Monocytes: remove dead or damaged cells from your blood.
- Neutrophils: fight your body infection.
- MPV (Mean Platelet Volume) indicates the production of the fragmented cells of your bone marrow.
- Platelet Count: measures how many platelets you have. They are parts that help in your blood.
