This is the iron panel for people who want to see more than numbers. The pathologist examines the smear for small, pale or irregular cells, and the reticulocyte count shows how the marrow is responding, while iron studies and the blood count establish the basic facts. Together, they separate straightforward iron deficiency from other small-cell anaemias, such as thalassaemia trait, in which iron is normal and iron tablets do not help. It is a step up from the basic panel without the extra cost of the inflammation and organ tests.
Iron studies and blood count with a smear and reticulocyte count, for a clearer picture of why haemoglobin is low.
The 4 tests are grouped into 3 health areas:
Blood count & inflammation 1 test
Red cells, white cells and platelets, blood group, and general inflammation markers.
RBC count, haemoglobin, haematocrit, WBC count with differential (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils), platelet count, and red-cell indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC).
Iron & anaemia 2 tests
Iron stores and red-cell production - the commonest causes of anaemia and tiredness.
Serum iron, TIBC, UIBC (unsaturated iron-binding capacity), transferrin saturation percentage, and ferritin (the body’s iron-storage protein).
The percentage or absolute count of reticulocytes - red blood cells that are less than a few days old.
Other tests 1 test
Additional tests included in this package.
Peripheral blood smear (PBS) is a blood test. Peripheral blood smear (PBS) is used in the work-up of anaemia to understand blood-cell production and iron status.
Designed for
Men & women
Age group
All ages
Purpose
Health screening
People with anaemia where the cause is not obvious, small red cells on a previous report, or a family history of anaemia.
How often should you get it done?
Once for diagnosis and again after treatment as guided by your doctor.
Not everyone needs every test. Whether this package suits you depends on your age, symptoms, family history and any ongoing treatment - your doctor can advise.
The package can provide information about:
A package gives individual results for each test - it does not diagnose disease by itself.
Book
Book this package online and pick a time slot, or call us and we'll book it for you.
Prepare
Fast for 8 to 10 hours and follow the preparation above.
Collect
A trained phlebotomist collects all samples in one home visit - no extra charge.
Process
Each sample is processed in our laboratory and reviewed by a pathologist.
Report
Reports are shared on WhatsApp and email, usually within 24 hours.
Your report lists the result of each test separately, with its own unit and reference range. Values outside the range are highlighted.
There is no single overall "health score" - each result is read on its own and then together with the others. One out-of-range value is not a diagnosis, and a normal report does not guarantee you are completely healthy.
Share the report with your doctor, who will interpret it with your symptoms and history. Call us if you need help reading it.

Both give small red cells. In iron deficiency, iron and ferritin are low, while in thalassaemia trait iron is normal. A haemoglobin analysis confirms the trait.
Yes, for eight to ten hours with water allowed, so that the iron value is reliable.
It shows your iron status, not absorption directly. If levels do not improve with tablets taken correctly, your doctor may test for absorption problems.
