Iron deficiency can be diagnosed with blood tests that measure:

- Hemoglobin (HB): A blood protein that helps transport oxygen throughout your body.
- Complete blood count (CBC): A panel that measures your current levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, and hematocrit. A low blood count can indicate iron deficiency anemia.
