[General and special anaemia diagnostics].
Worldwide, anaemia is one of the most frequent diseases. Its cause is obvious in many cases, especially with overt bleeding. Patients are often referred to many invasive but unnecessary diagnostic procedures. A diagnostic work-flow should enable clinicians to diagnose anaemia specifically and start the appropriate therapy, even in the case of rare causes. This article summarizes the necessary diagnostic procedures for anaemia.
