Anemia Profile at Home in Dubai
Also known as: ANAEMIA PROFILE, ANEMIA PANEL
Included
About the Package
The standard blood work-up for anaemia, designed to find not just whether you are anaemic but why. It combines a complete blood count with a peripheral smear examining red-cell, white-cell and platelet appearance, plus full iron studies and vitamin B12 and folate. This lets a doctor distinguish the main types, iron-deficiency, B12 or folate-related, and others, so treatment targets the actual cause. A sensible investigation for persistent tiredness, breathlessness, pallor or a low haemoglobin found on a routine test.
What is it? The Anemia Profile is a 30-biomarker panel pairing a complete blood count and peripheral smear with iron studies, ferritin, vitamin B12 and folate to work up anaemia.

Anemia Profile: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Anemia Profile?
- To investigate symptoms of anaemia such as fatigue, breathlessness, pallor or dizziness
- To identify the type of anaemia, iron-deficiency, B12 or folate-related, so treatment fits the cause
- To follow up a low haemoglobin picked up on a routine blood test
How to prepare for the Anemia Profile
No fasting is required for this profile; eat and drink normally before your appointment. If you take iron, B12 or folate supplements, mention them, recent doses can lift the readings and your doctor may want to interpret results with that in mind. The blood count, smear, iron studies and vitamins all come from a single home draw taking about 20 minutes.
Understanding your Anemia Profile results
Together the blood count, smear, iron studies and vitamins reveal whether anaemia is present and point to its cause, low ferritin suggests iron deficiency, while low B12 or folate and larger red cells suggest a different type. Because treatment differs by cause, review the doctor-reviewed report with a physician rather than starting iron or vitamins on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp — we usually reply in three minutes.
A CBC can show that you are anaemic but not always why. This profile adds a peripheral smear, full iron studies, B12 and folate, so a doctor can tell iron-deficiency anaemia from B12 or folate-related types and treat the right cause.
A peripheral smear is a microscopic look at the shape, size and appearance of your blood cells. Red-cell morphology often hints at the type of anaemia, and the smear can flag other blood abnormalities that numbers alone miss.
No fasting is needed. The blood count, iron studies and vitamins are not affected by food. Tell us if you take iron, B12 or folate supplements, as recent doses can raise the readings.
The doctor-reviewed report arrives within 24 hours on WhatsApp and email, bringing the blood count, smear, iron studies and vitamins together so your doctor can identify the type of anaemia.
Ideally not, unless a doctor has told you to. Taking iron beforehand can mask a deficiency and blur the picture. If you are already on iron, B12 or folate, note it so the results are read in that context.
It covers the most common nutritional causes, iron, B12 and folate, and the smear adds structural clues. If these are all normal, your doctor may pursue other causes such as blood loss or chronic disease with further tests.
