Analysis of the Diagnostic Value of Blood Test Indicators for Anemia

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of blood test indicators in the differential diagnosis of anemia. Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed with anemia (disease group) from June 2021 to June 2024 were selected. Based on the type of disease, the group was subdivided into iron deficiency anemia (IDA) with 31 cases, hemolytic anemia (HA) with 11 cases, and aplastic anemia (AA) with 18 cases. Based on the severity of the disease, the group was divided into mild anemia (30 cases), moderate anemia (19 cases), and severe anemia (11 cases). Sixty healthy individuals (control group) were also included, and all underwent blood tests. Comparisons were made between the red blood cell (RBC) indicators of the disease group and the control group, the blood test indicators of different types of anemia, and the serum iron levels of varying severity of anemia. Results: Except for red cell distribution width (RDW), the RBC indicators in the disease group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Comparisons of RBC indicators among different types of anemia showed significant differences (P < 0.05). Serum iron levels varied significantly among different degrees of anemia severity (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Blood tests can detect anemia, distinguish types of anemia, and assess anemia severity, offering high diagnostic value.
