A member asked:

Can anemia affect a pregnancy test?

Dr. Michael Engel answered

Specializes in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

No, it should not: Affect a standard urine pregnancy test, nor should it have any appreciable effect upon a serum beta- HCG test. Likewise, the predictive quality of either test for pregnancy is not affected by anemia. Good luck to you.
