What is checked in blood test to verify if someone is anemic or not?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Anemia: Two labs are checked routinely, the hemoglobin and the hematocrit . Sometimes one's iron levels are also checked. That is not routine. The first two labs are completely adequate for evaluating whether someone is anemic. Good luck.
