Anemia, characterized by a deficiency in healthy red blood cells and hemoglobin, remains a significant global health concern affecting millions of people of all ages. The W.H.O. estimates that approximately one-quarter of the global population can be defined as anemic, and as such is one of the most common abnormalities identified in routine diagnostic testing/wellness screening. Iron deficiency, due to inadequate intake or excessive loss, is suspected to be the underlying cause in 50% of all cases.
The Clinical Chemistry Laboratory plays a crucial role in identifying, diagnosing, and managing anemia. This requires a comprehensive analysis of biomarkers involved in iron metabolism, including iron, ferritin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin. Timely and accurate diagnosis is instrumental in improving the quality of life for individuals affected by anemia, making these tests indispensable tools in combating this pervasive health condition.
ELITechGroup Clinical Chemistry offers a comprehensive testing panel for Iron studies and the accurate assessment of anemia including all key analytes: Iron, Ferritin, TIBC, and Transferrin. All reagents are ready-to-use liquid stable and optimized for the Selectra Family from semi-automated to fully automated benchtop chemistry analyzers. The assays are calibrated using dedicated calibrators traceable to international reference material such as ERM-DA470K/IFCC or WHO-NIBSC code 94/572.
