Abstract

Objectives: Correct diagnosis of iron deficiency remains challenging due to the cost of ferritin tests. Physicians, especially those in resource-limited settings, may resort to a complete blood count (CBC) when considering iron deficiency and anemia due to its accessibility. Although this has been practiced, it is still beneficial to assess whether CBC parameters exhibit the diagnostic capability of discriminating such medical conditions.
