Often, the first test used to diagnose anemia is a complete blood count (CBC). The CBC measures many parts of your blood. This test checks your hemoglobin and hematocrit (hee-MAT-oh-crit) levels. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body. Hematocrit is a measure of how much space red blood cells take up in your blood. A low level of hemoglobin or hematocrit is a sign of anemia.
CBC test: Complete blood count (CBC) tests may be used to measure different types of cells in the blood. A CBC test may be particularly helpful in determining whether you have too few red blood cells, which causes anemia. This may be a concern for colorectal cancer patients, because it may indicate that they have a tumor thatâs been bleeding for some time.
