Anemia: Anemia Test
built 635 days ago
Anemia Meter is an FDA approved, hand-held, rapid response blood testing device that accurately checks for blood hemoglobin levels. The test provides you with an accurate, quantitative, convenient, and inexpensive way to test for possible anemia in the comfort and safety of your home without costly physician visits and laboratory fees. Low hemoglobin levels are associated with extreme weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, depression, rapid heart beat, and/or pale skin. People over 65, those who have had recent surgery, and HIV/AIDS patients are at increased risk. Additionally, people who have kidney disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, or heart disease should check their hemoglobin level regularly.
Anemia can be a life-threatening disorder that is quite simple to treat. Unfortunately, many physicians often fail to test and properly diagnose the condition, resulting in 24-40% of hospitalized patients over age 65 being anemic. Compared to nonanemic people, blood-deficient individuals have high mortality rates from diseases such as heart failure, stroke, and cancer.
