ANEMIA TEST
from
Home Health Testing®
An Anemia Test can be an
important tool to maintaining your good health. Anemia, if not
treated, can become a very serious condition, even leading to
life-threatening complications. Identify potential anemia conditions
with a Home Anemia Test.
When the number of red blood cells
in the body decreases, the heart works harder, pumping more blood to
send more oxygen throughout the body. If the heart works too hard, it
can develop a rapid heartbeat and another serious condition known as
left ventricular hypertrophy. LVH is an enlargement of the heart
muscle that in turn can lead to heart failure.
It is
estimated that as many as 20 million Americans are suffering from
undiagnosed anemia.

Three types of cells make up the blood in our
bodies, they are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the
lungs to every cell in the body. Oxygen provides the energy needed by
all the body's muscles and organs. Anemia occurs when the number of
red blood cells or the hemoglobin in them drops below normal levels
and can no longer supply the body with the oxygen it needs to function
properly.
Anemia is one of those conditions that can
sometimes be difficult to identify, because in the beginning, the
symptoms may be mild. Complicating things even further, sometimes
anemia symptoms are mistaken for those of certain diseases or
medication side effects. It is quite common for people to either
ignore anemia symptoms or attribute them to other causes.
Major anemia symptoms are:

Anemia will occur if the body produces too few red blood cells, loses too many of them, or if red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be replaced. There are nearly 100 different types of anemia with many causes.
The more common anemia causes are:

The BioSafe Anemia Test is quick, easy and
virtually painless to use disposable test. Using the supplied lancet,
one or more drops of blood are taken from a nick of a finger and
deposited into the Anemia Meter. A view window indicates when the
right amount of blood has been deposited, and a plunger is then pushed
to start the testing process. The unit is then set aside. At the end
of twenty minutes the window on the meter will give you your result.
That's all there is to it!
Your result will be numerical
reading of your hemoglobin levels - not just a simple "yes"
or "no". If your result shows that you may be anemic, you
can place the Anemia Meter in the provided plastic envelope and show
it to your health care provider.
