YOUR HEALTH. A MORE INFORMED VIEW.
A complete blood count, iron and vitamin B12 offer a focused starting point for a conversation about anaemia.

THE PURPOSE BEHIND THE PANEL.
The blood count describes red-cell measurements as well as white cells and platelets. Iron and B12 add two specific pieces of context. These results may help a clinician decide whether further investigation is needed; tiredness alone does not establish anaemia.

A complete blood count describes red cells, white cells and platelets. The pattern can contribute to an assessment of anaemia, infection-related concerns or other clinical questions.
A count does not explain every abnormality. The full component list stays visible so a headline number does not hide the measurements.

The included vitamin results can support a focused nutritional assessment. Symptoms, diet, supplements, absorption and other medical conditions all influence the next steps.
A vitamin level does not identify every cause of fatigue or justify taking a high dose without advice. The included list defines the scope.

Iron measurements provide complementary information about circulating iron, transport and—when ferritin is included—iron stores. They are often interpreted alongside the blood count.
A normal or low serum iron result alone is not a complete assessment of iron deficiency. Ferritin may be influenced by inflammation.
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE CHOOSING.
The headline measurement count includes multi-component panels where present. The included test records and their published nested measurements are displayed separately so the count is transparent.

THE RIGHT START DEPENDS ON YOU.
Choose the investigation around the question you want to discuss. Ferritin, folate and TIBC are not included, and the panel cannot identify every cause of anaemia.

Compare the full included list with your clinician’s request. Ferritin, folate and TIBC are not included, and the panel cannot identify every cause of anaemia.
Bring earlier results and the relevant symptom or treatment history. The clinician can decide whether this scope, a smaller test selection or a different investigation is the most useful next step.

FROM BOOKING TO UNDERSTANDING.
Follow Anemia Profile from your care bag to an informed conversation.
The right package. The right person.
Add Anemia Profile to your care bag. Book for yourself or assign the package to someone else. The care team can help match the selection to a request or prescription.
Preparation follows the test.
Confirm the instructions for blood and the appropriate collection arrangements. Correct identification, specimen choice and timing support a useful result.
Laboratory work, behind the finding.
Intel Lab processes the sample and checks the report. The package lists 24 hours; collection timing and any additional laboratory checks may affect release.
A finding, placed in your context.
Read the report with the reason for testing. A clinician can explain unexpected findings, relevant limitations and whether any further assessment is appropriate.
MORE THAN A LIST OF NUMBERS.
Your report brings the measurements together. Explore the findings below to see which questions make the report more meaningful.

Iron measurements provide complementary information about circulating iron, transport and—when ferritin is included—iron stores. They are often interpreted alongside the blood count. A normal or low serum iron result alone is not a complete assessment of iron deficiency. Ferritin may be influenced by inflammation.
THE NEXT STEP IS PERSONAL.
Connect the laboratory findings with the reason for this specific test. A report supports the next clinical conversation; it does not decide it for you.
Review the haemoglobin and red-cell pattern alongside the included iron and vitamin B12 measurements. Further testing depends on the findings and the possible cause, rather than on a single flagged number.
Discuss this result with a clinician who knows the reason for testing. Further investigations or follow-up depend on the actual findings and your circumstances.
THE LABORATORY BEHIND YOUR RESULTS.
Intelligent Care brings the collection to you. Intel Lab brings the laboratory pathway, from sample handling to reporting.
Accurate patient details, the correct specimen and clear collection instructions are the first part of a reliable laboratory pathway. Follow the collection team’s instructions for the specimens required by this panel.
The laboratory’s analytical work and quality processes support the measurements in the report. Explore the laboratory’s published quality standards and accreditation scope for the detail behind its services.
Reporting connects the laboratory findings with their clinical use. Unexpected or significant results may need additional checks or communication with the referring clinician.

BEFORE YOU BOOK.
Preparation, sample types, timing and what the package does—and does not—include.
A complete blood count, iron and vitamin B12 offer a focused starting point for a conversation about anaemia. The full named inventory on this page is the scope of the package.
No. The package contains CBC, iron and vitamin B12. If iron stores are the clinical question, ask whether a ferritin measurement is appropriate.
It describes red-cell counts, haemoglobin and cell measurements alongside white cells and platelets. The pattern can help direct further investigation.
No. Serum iron varies and can be affected by several factors. It is interpreted with blood counts, iron stores where measured and clinical history.
Discuss the findings with a clinician first. The cause and appropriate treatment or dose need individual assessment.
The package preparation guidance specifies an 8–12-hour fast. Confirm the instructions for your appointment; plain water is permitted. Ask the clinician how to manage medicines or any difficulty fasting.
Yes. Choose home collection across Dubai or a visit to Intel Lab in Deira. Any health package waives the collection fee for its own visit; separate appointments are assessed separately.
The package price is AED 129; the listed turnaround is 24 hours. Confirm collection and processing arrangements with the team. Turnaround is not a guarantee that every result will be released at one exact time.
Review relevant findings with a qualified clinician alongside the reason for testing, symptoms, medicines and prior results. The report may lead to reassurance about the tested question, confirmation, a targeted investigation or follow-up—not an automatic treatment decision.
