I believe many mothers want to help their babies check their physical condition and see if they have any diseases such as anemia. What should be checked for baby anemia? Many mothers don't know. For babies, if anemia persists for a long time, it can affect their physical development, so it is important to have them checked in a timely manner. So, how to check if the baby is poor or anemic?
A comprehensive blood routine test can be conducted at the hospital for a baby's anemia examination. The routine blood routine test includes checking the volume of red blood cells, serum protein, and ferritin in the blood, and most importantly, a slice test for tumor markers and a parasite test should also be performed, as both can also lead to severe anemia in patients.
Whether the blood routine test results are anemia mainly depends on the detected red blood cell volume. If the red blood cell volume is significantly lower than the normal value, it is undoubtedly severe anemia. In addition, it should be accompanied by a doctor's palpation and face-to-face examination. Observing the patient's face and blood color is also one of the criteria for judging anemia.
In addition, if determining whether a baby has anemia, the second values to be checked are serum protein and ferritin, as these two can effectively reflect the severity of anemia in patients, so these two values are very valuable for reference. Two values only require one blood routine test.
