How is an Anemia Test Performed? 

The most common test to diagnose anemia is a complete blood count (CBC) which measures the level of red blood cells present in a person's blood. It also determines the hemoglobin level in the body. To conduct a CBC test, the blood sample of the concerned person is taken and sent to a lab where it is screened. The result of the CBC test is shared with the patient via SMS or email. A low hemoglobin level is indicative of anemia.  

Apart from the CBC Test, other tests performed for anemia include hemoglobin electrophoresis, reticulocyte count, and determination of the iron levels in the body.?
