To diagnose anemia, our team at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic in JBR, Dubai Marina conducts a thorough assessment, including:

• Medical History Review: We discuss your symptoms, medical history, diet, and any family history of anemia or other blood disorders.
• Physical Examination: A full examination to assess for physical signs of anemia, such as pallor, rapid heart rate, or irregular heart sounds.
• Blood Tests: The primary method of diagnosing anemia, including a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to measure red blood cell count, hemoglobin levels, and hematocrit.
• Iron Studies: To check iron levels in the body and diagnose iron-deficiency anemia.
• Vitamin and Mineral Deficiency Tests: Blood tests to assess vitamin B12, folic acid, and other essential nutrients.
