NOTE: Ulta Lab Tests provides CBC test results from Quest Diagnostics as they are reported. Often, different biomarker results are made available at different time intervals. When reporting the results, Ulta Lab Tests denotes those biomarkers not yet reported as 'pending' for every biomarker the test might report. Only biomarkers Quest Diagnostics observes are incorporated and represented in the final CBC test results provided by Ulta Lab Tests.

The Anemia Test Panel panel contains 7 tests with 46 biomarkers .
Anemia is a common condition characterized by a reduction in the number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood.
The Anemia Test Panel is a comprehensive assessment that includes multiple tests designed to identify and evaluate anemia's underlying cause and severity. The panel monitors the components of blood, kidney function, essential vitamins, and other related factors.
Test Components:
-
CBC with Differential and Platelets:
- Monitors: Overall blood health, red and white blood cells, and platelets.
- Details: This test gives an extensive view of blood cells, detecting abnormalities in size, shape, count, and hemoglobin content.
-
Iron, TIBC, and Ferritin Panel:
- Monitors: Iron metabolism and storage.
- Details: Measures levels of iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and ferritin to evaluate iron deficiency or overload, common causes of anemia.
-
Vitamin B12:
- Monitors: Nervous system and blood formation.
- Details: Checks the level of Vitamin B12, vital for red blood cell production and neurological function.
-
Folate (Folic Acid):
- Monitors: Cellular function and tissue growth.
- Details: Assesses the level of folate, essential for DNA synthesis and repair.
-
BUN/Creatinine Ratio:
- Monitors: Kidney function.
- Details: Evaluates the balance between blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, providing insights into kidney health and function.
-
Reticulocyte Count:
- Monitors: Red blood cell production.
- Details: Measures the number of young red blood cells (reticulocytes) in the blood, an essential factor in understanding how the bone marrow is responding to anemia.
Purpose of the Test: Anemia Test Panel
The Anemia Test Panel serves several critical functions:
-
Comprehensive Diagnosis: By measuring a wide range of blood components, the panel provides a holistic view, helping to pinpoint the type and cause of anemia, whether it be iron-deficiency, pernicious, hemolytic, or another form.
-
Treatment Guidance: The results guide healthcare providers in choosing the right treatment approach, whether it involves dietary changes, supplements, medication, or other therapeutic measures.
-
Monitoring of Chronic Conditions: For those with chronic conditions that can cause or be complicated by anemia, such as kidney disease or chronic infections, the test aids in ongoing monitoring and management.
-
Prevention and Early Detection: In at-risk populations, such as pregnant women, elderly individuals, or those with a family history of anemia, the test can act as a preventive measure or allow for early intervention.
-
Evaluation of Treatment Effectiveness: In patients already diagnosed with anemia, the test helps in evaluating the success of treatment strategies and making necessary adjustments.
The Anemia Test Panel is an invaluable tool in the comprehensive diagnosis and management of anemia.
By providing insights into various bodily functions and nutritional aspects related to red blood cell production and overall blood health, this panel plays an essential role in healthcare for a wide range of individuals.
Whether for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention, the Anemia Test Panel offers vital information for optimized patient care.
