Could the test for blood to see if anemia is present?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Anemia is usually diagnosed by a qualified physician based on clinical signs and symptoms as well as blood tests. Testing the blood for the number of red blood cells (rbc), the level of hemoglobin (hb), and other indicators is very useful in the diagnosis of anemia.
