A blood test is needed to detect anemia, although some physical exam findings may suggest that anemia exists.

To determine the type of anemia, typically a differential count, an iron level, a ferritin level, a total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and vitamin B12 and folic acid levels will be evaluated. If these do not reveal the reason for the anemia, a blood smear may need to be done.
