Why is Blood Testing Important for Children?
Blood tests can help:
✅ Detect anemia and nutritional deficiencies early.
✅ Confirm or rule out infections (bacterial, viral, or parasitic).
✅ Identify allergies and help parents manage food or environmental triggers.
✅ Monitor overall health and organ function.
✅ Check for underlying medical conditions that may not show visible symptoms.
Blood tests are one of the most effective ways to assess a child’s internal health.
Common Pediatric Blood Tests We Offer
At Dr Low Child Specialist Clinic, we provide a wide range of child-friendly blood tests based on your child’s health needs.
1. Complete Blood Count (CBC) – General Health & Anemia Screening 🩸
✔ Checks red and white blood cell levels, hemoglobin, and platelets.
✔ Helps diagnose anemia, infections, and immune system disorders.
✔ Identifies signs of nutrient deficiencies (iron, vitamin B12, folic acid).
💡 Did you know? Iron-deficiency anemia is common in children and can cause fatigue, pale skin, and poor appetite.
2. Infection Detection (Bacterial, Viral, and Parasitic Infections) 🦠
✔ White blood cell (WBC) count – Determines if an infection is present.
✔ C-reactive protein (CRP) & Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) – Detects inflammation and infections.
✔ Dengue, Influenza, and COVID-19 blood tests – For accurate disease detection.
✔ Typhoid, malaria, and other infectious disease screening.

3. Allergy Testing – Food & Environmental Allergies 🤧

✔ Detects dust mite, pollen, pet dander, and mold allergies.
