A member asked:
Do i need to have a full blood count to test for iron/anemia/b12?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: If anemia is suspected after a consultation with your physician, it is probably a good idea to have a CBC (complete blood count) with differential as well as iron studies and b12/folate level testing.
