# Anemia Profile B

> This panel measures the amount of iron in your blood and evaluates the proteins that store and transport it. It helps show whether your body has the right balance of iron needed to make healthy red blood cells, which is often checked if you feel persistent fatigue or weakness. These results assist in distinguishing between iron deficiency and other types of anemia. However, this test cannot identify the specific underlying cause of an iron imbalance, such as internal bleeding or a genetic condition, without further investigation.
