How is autoimmune hemolytic anemia diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will recommend a complete blood count (CBC) to look for warning signs of anemia. Specifically, this test measures:
- How many red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets you have.
- The size of your red blood cells.
- Hemoglobin, the protein in your blood that carries oxygen throughout your body.
- Hematocrit (how much space your red blood cells take up in your blood).
