Often, the first test used to diagnose anemia is a complete blood count (CBC). The CBC measures many parts of your blood. This test checks your hemoglobin and hematocrit (hee-MAT-oh-crit) levels. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body. Hematocrit is a measure of how much space red blood cells take up in your blood. A low level of hemoglobin or hematocrit is a sign of anemia.
To diagnose aplastic anemia, your doctor may recommend: 1  Blood tests. Normally, red blood cell, white blood cell and platelet levels stay within a certain range. 2  Bone marrow biopsy. To confirm a diagnosis, you'll need to undergo a bone marrow biopsy.
