Frequently asked questions

Which tests are done for anemia?

The Anemia Panel at IntroLab laboratory includes 9 tests: a complete blood count with differential, iron, UIBC, TIBC, transferrin saturation, ferritin, folic acid, vitamin B12 and a fecal occult blood test. Together they show whether anemia is present and whether the cause is a lack of iron, folic acid or vitamin B12, or hidden bleeding from the bowel.

How much does the anemia panel cost?

The Anemia Panel costs 6,100 RSD, while the same 9 tests ordered separately would cost 6,940 RSD, so the panel is about 12% cheaper. Results are ready in 1 day. The most expensive items in the panel are ferritin (1,320 RSD), folic acid and vitamin B12 (1,350 RSD each) and transferrin saturation (1,200 RSD).

How should I prepare for the anemia panel?

Blood for the Anemia Panel is drawn in the morning, after an 8–12 hour fast without food or water. The fecal occult blood test also requires a fresh stool sample, which should be kept in the refrigerator at 2–8 °C until you bring it to IntroLab laboratory. If you take iron or vitamin B12 supplements, tell your doctor, because they affect the result.
