Haemoglobin
The oxygen-carrying part of your red blood cells.
Why it matters
Low levels are linked to feeling tired or short of breath.

Anaemia Profile
£165.00
The Anaemia Profile delivers a thorough evaluation of your haematological health, identifying the root causes behind anaemic symptoms. This specialist assessment measures critical parameters including red blood cell indices, haemoglobin concentration, serum iron, ferritin, and B12 and folate levels—each revealing distinct contributors to anaemia. Whether your condition results from iron depletion, nutritional deficiency, or systemic factors, this profile isolates the specific mechanisms at play. Designed for individuals experiencing persistent fatigue, breathlessness, or pallor, it provides the diagnostic clarity required to implement effective, evidence-based treatment strategies and restore healthy oxygen transport throughout your body.

What we measure
The biomarkers in this panel.
Haematocrit
The proportion of your blood made up of red cells.
Why it matters
Gives a quick snapshot of how oxygen-rich your blood is.
Mean Cell Haemoglobin
The average amount of haemoglobin in each red blood cell.
Why it matters
Helps show whether your red cells are well-stocked with oxygen-carrying protein.
Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration
How concentrated the haemoglobin is in your red blood cells.
Why it matters
Another angle on red blood cell quality, useful when looking at iron status.
Mean Cell Volume
The average size of your red blood cells.
Why it matters
Cell size can hint at iron, B12 or folate levels.
Red Blood Cell Count
The number of red cells in your blood.
Why it matters
Red cells carry oxygen — too few or too many can both be a sign something's off.
Basophil Count
A type of white blood cell.
Why it matters
Linked to allergic responses and how your body deals with irritants.
Lymphocyte Count
Immune-system white blood cells.
Why it matters
Shows how your body is responding to infections or viruses.
Eosinophil Count
A white blood cell linked to allergies and parasites.
Why it matters
Higher levels can be a sign of allergies or other immune activity.
Monocyte Count
A clean-up white blood cell.
Why it matters
Gives insight into longer-running immune activity.
Neutrophil Count
Your front-line infection-fighting white blood cells.
Why it matters
Often higher when your body is fighting something off.
White Blood Cell Count
The total count of immune cells in your blood.
Why it matters
A general marker of how active your immune system is.
Platelet Count
Tiny cells that help your blood clot.
Why it matters
Low or high counts can be a sign your clotting balance is off.
Iron
The iron currently circulating in your blood.
Why it matters
Important for energy and oxygen delivery.
Ferritin
Your body's iron stores.
Why it matters
Low levels can leave you feeling tired; very high levels can be a sign of inflammation or iron overload.
Total Iron Binding Capacity
How much iron your blood can carry.
Why it matters
Helps put your iron level in context.
Transferrin
The protein that ferries iron around your body.
Why it matters
Adds detail to the iron-status picture.
Transferrin Saturation
How much of your transferrin is actually carrying iron.
Why it matters
A useful marker for both low iron and iron overload.
Folic Acid
A B vitamin important for new cells and red blood cells.
Why it matters
Low levels can leave you feeling tired and run down.
Vitamin B12
A vitamin needed for energy, nerves and red blood cells.
Why it matters
Low levels can be a sign of fatigue, brain fog or nerve issues.
High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
A sensitive marker of low-level inflammation.
Why it matters
Low-grade inflammation is linked to heart and metabolic health.
Is this panel right for me?
Who this panel is built for.
Who this is for
- Adults wanting a broader anaemia workup including B12, folate and ferritin.
- People with persistent fatigue who want to look beyond a single iron marker.
- Vegetarians, vegans and pregnancy-recovery women tracking B12 and folate status.
- Anyone gathering data to share with their GP.
Consider speaking to a clinician first
- Anyone with signs of severe anaemia (breathlessness at rest, fainting, chest pain). Contact your GP urgently.
- People on injectable B12 or under haematology care.
- Those needing reticulocyte counts or haemoglobinopathy screening (different testing pathway).
- Children under 18.
This panel reports biomarker data. It does not diagnose any condition. Your results should be reviewed alongside the advice of your GP or another qualified healthcare professional.

- Track what changesDiet, training, lifestyle — see the impact in numbers.
- Peace of mind about your bodyUnderstand how you're really doing, in numbers.
FAQs
Common questions.
How long do Anaemia Profile results take?
Anaemia Profile results are typically delivered within 2 working days of the laboratory receiving your sample. You receive a plain English PDF report.
How is the sample collected for the Anaemia Profile?
The Anaemia Profile requires a venous blood draw at a Chxhealth or partner clinic. The phlebotomy fee is included in the price. Choose our Lanchester clinic or one of our 50+ UK partner and pop-up clinics when you book.
What does the Anaemia Profile cover?
The panel combines a full blood count with iron studies (ferritin, iron, transferrin, TIBC, transferrin saturation), vitamin B12 and folate. Together these are the standard markers used to investigate anaemia and its likely cause.
Who should consider the Anaemia Profile?
People with symptoms of anaemia (fatigue, breathlessness, pale skin, hair shedding, restless legs), people with heavy menstrual bleeding, vegans and vegetarians, blood donors, and anyone with a family history of anaemia or iron-related conditions.
Can this panel diagnose anaemia?
No. Chxhealth is a biomarker and genetic data provider. We do not diagnose, treat or prescribe. For medical advice, please speak to a qualified healthcare professional. The panel will show whether your markers are in or out of the typical reference ranges. Diagnosis and treatment of anaemia should be done by a clinician based on your full clinical picture.
