Small red cells can mean iron deficiency, thalassaemia trait or both, and the treatment differs. This panel pairs the haemoglobin variant profile with iron studies so that both explanations are tested at once. The smear and blood count supply the shape and size of cells. Reading the results together, a doctor can say whether iron tablets are the answer, whether you are a carrier, or whether both are true. That avoids months of treating the wrong cause and gives couples reliable information for planning pregnancy.
Carrier screening with iron studies: haemoglobin variants, smear and blood count, separating thalassaemia trait from iron deficiency.
The 4 tests are grouped into 3 health areas:
Blood count & inflammation 2 tests
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).
Hemoglobinopathies Profile - HbF/HbS is a blood test. Hemoglobinopathies Profile - HbF/HbS is used in the work-up of anaemia to understand blood-cell production and iron status.
Iron & anaemia 1 test
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).
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 small red cells, mild anaemia that persists despite iron, or couples wanting carrier screening alongside an iron check.
How often should you get it done?
Once. Iron may be rechecked after treatment.
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 48 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.

Key Tests Included
Because each can mask the other. Iron deficiency may hide thalassaemia trait on the haemoglobin profile, and trait causes small cells that look like iron deficiency.
Fast for eight to ten hours, drinking only water, and skip iron tablets on the morning of the test.
Only if your iron is actually low. Taking iron when your levels are normal is not helpful, and your doctor will decide based on the report.
