Interpretation of Iron Studies (Iron Profile)
Iron studies reveal iron deficiency, overload, and other conditions. Learn how MCV, ferritin, and other markers help decipher iron status and guide treatment.
Folate Deficiency
Folate deficiency, a lack of vitamin B9, can lead to fatigue, weakness, and even birth defects.
Pernicious Anemia
Pernicious anemia, an autoimmune condition, disrupts vitamin B12 absorption. This leads to fatigue, nerve problems, and a special type of anemia. Early diagnosis and B12 replacement therapy are key for good health.
