Anemia

Feeling tired and weak? Maybe a little tired or dizzy? Getting checked for anemia may be in order. Anemia is a medical condition in which there is a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, resulting in a reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen. Anemia lab testing may be ordered by a healthcare provider to help diagnose the cause of anemia and to monitor its treatment. Treatment may include medications, dietary changes, or other interventions depending on the cause of the anemia.
