    What is the role of a CBC test in diagnosing anemia?

    A CBC test is essential for diagnosing anemia. It measures key components such as red blood cells (RBCs), hemoglobin, and hematocrit, all of which are indicators of anemia when found at low levels. The test can also provide insights into the type of anemia (iron-deficiency, vitamin B12-deficiency, or folate-deficiency) by evaluating the size of red blood cells. Abnormal results from a CBC can prompt further testing to identify the underlying cause of anemia, whether due to nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, or blood loss.
