Can the test sheet tell if there is something lacking causing the anemia?

Typically, an abnormal blood count may indicate anemia. However, a single lab test cannot confirm the exact cause.

1. Iron deficiency: If the body has insufficient intake for a long time or malabsorption leads to a decrease in iron content in the body, it may cause microcytic hypochromic anemia, and the average volume of red blood cells (MCV) and mean red blood cell hemoglobin (MCHC) can be found to be reduced after routine blood testing;

2. Folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiency: Since the human body cannot synthesize folic acid and vitamin B12 and other substances, it is necessary to ingest such nutrients from the outside world to maintain normal metabolic function.When the body is severely deficient in folic acid or vitamin B12, it will lead to the occurrence of megaloblastic anemia, and at this time, the phenomenon of MCV increasing and MCHC falling will be manifested in the routine blood examination;

3. Insufficient erythropoietin secretion: such as chronicKidney failureIn people with exhaustive diseases, the kidneys' ability to excrete waste products is weakened, which may lead to the presence of waste products in the blooduremiaThe toxin level increases, which affects the bone marrow hematopoietic system, causing the body to produce a feedback mechanism to inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells, and eventually trigger the symptoms of anemia.

It may also be caused by genetic factors and other reasons, and it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, improve other auxiliary examinations, and make a clear diagnosis and treatment. In daily life, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat some protein-rich foods to replenish energy, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
