Blood Deficiency & Anemia

The Iron Studies Test, including ferritin, measures iron levels and how well your body stores and uses iron. Low iron may be linked to anaemia, fatigue, or poor concentration, while high levels may point to iron overload or inflammation.

The MTHFR Gene Test looks for changes in the MTHFR gene that affect how your body processes folate and vitamin B12. Certain variants may be linked to higher homocysteine levels, which can influence heart health, energy, fertility, and mood, while normal results suggest your folate metabolism is working as expected.

The Copper Blood Test measures copper, a mineral essential for making red blood cells, supporting energy production, and keeping the immune and nervous systems healthy. Low copper may be linked to anaemia, fatigue, or weak immunity, while high levels may suggest overload or exposure from supplements, water, or the environment.

The Full Blood Count (FBC) Test measures red cells, white cells, and platelets in your blood. It may help check for anaemia, infection, immune problems, or overall health changes, and is one of the most commonly requested routine blood tests. This test also includes ESR.

The Active Vitamin B12 Test, also called the HoloTC Test, measures the form of B12 that your body can actually use. This test may help detect early deficiency that total B12 tests can miss, supporting the prevention of anaemia, fatigue, and nerve-related problems.

The Red Blood Cell Copper Test measures copper stored inside red blood cells, giving a clearer view of long-term copper status than a standard blood test. Copper is essential for energy, immunity, and red blood cell production. Low levels may cause fatigue, anaemia, or weak immunity, while high levels may indicate toxicity or over-supplementation. This test is only available at Healius and 4Cyte collection centres.

The Vitamin B12 Blood Test measures levels of B12, a vitamin essential for making red blood cells, protecting nerves, and supporting energy production. Low B12 can cause fatigue, anaemia, memory issues, and nerve problems, while healthy levels are vital for brain function and overall wellbeing.

The Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) Blood Test measures levels of riboflavin, a vitamin that helps your body turn food into energy and supports healthy red blood cells. Low B2 can cause fatigue, mouth sores, cracked lips, and increase the risk of anaemia, while good levels help maintain energy and overall health.

The Vitamin B6 Blood Test measures levels of pyridoxine, a B-vitamin that helps your body process protein, make red blood cells, and keep the nervous system working properly. Low B6 can cause anaemia, irritability, confusion, or nerve problems, while healthy levels support energy, brain health, and overall wellbeing.

The Vitamin B9 (Folate) Blood Test measures levels of folate, a B-vitamin that helps make red blood cells and supports DNA and cell growth. Low folate can cause anaemia, fatigue, and in pregnancy increase the risk of birth defects, while healthy levels support energy, metabolism, and overall wellbeing.

Assess red blood cell breakdown with our Bilirubin Indirect Unconjugated test. This important analysis measures unconjugated bilirubin levels to evaluate hemolysis, detect genetic conditions like Gilbert's syndrome, and assess the balance between red blood cell destruction and liver processing.
