Essentials of Folate Blood Test
A folate blood test measures the amount of folate in your blood. Folate is crucial for pregnancy health and overall well-being. Schedule your test today.
Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning is preventable. Learn about risks in homes, water, and toys. Find out how to test and reduce exposure.

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH)
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH): An acquired blood disease where the immune system attacks red cells due to a mutation in the X chromosome.

Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (warm AIHA)
Warm AIHA: Immune system attacks red blood cells, causing anemia. Symptoms include fatigue, pallor, and jaundice. Treatment targets immune suppression.

Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria
Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) is a rare autoimmune anemia. Cold exposure triggers red cell destruction, causing dark urine, back pain, and chills. Diagnosis relies on the Donath-Landsteiner test.
Sideroblastic Anemia
Sideroblastic anemia disrupts iron use in red blood cells. Caused by genetic mutations or factors like alcohol abuse, it’s diagnosed by analyzing bone marrow for ring sideroblasts, iron-laden structures.
Differential Diagnosis of Macrocytic Anemias
Macrocytosis, larger-than-normal red blood cells, can be a sign of vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, liver disease, or bone marrow issues. Early diagnosis is key for targeted treatment.
Differential Diagnosis of Microcytic Hypochromic Anemia
Hypochromic anemia, marked by pale, small red blood cells, has various causes beyond iron deficiency. A proper diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Ruling out conditions like thalassemia or lead poisoning ensures targeted therapy.
Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD)
ACD (anemia of chronic disease) occurs when inflammation disrupts iron use for red blood cells, causing anemia despite iron stores.
Red Blood Cell Inclusion Bodies
Red blood cell inclusions are hidden clues! These structures in RBCs signal underlying issues. Learn how they help diagnose anemia & other blood disorders.
Abnormal Red Blood Cell (RBC) Morphology
Red blood cell (RBC) shapes and sizes offer clues to health! Normal RBCs are round and disc-shaped, but abnormal shapes like sickle or teardrop forms can indicate underlying conditions like anemia. Let’s explore what these variations mean!
