This document discusses different types of anemia and how to evaluate them. Serum ferritin levels can help determine if a patient has iron deficiency anemia, with low levels indicating IDA. Other tests like hemoglobin electrophoresis and blood smears are used to diagnose other anemias caused by thalassemias, chronic infections, or sideroblastic conditions.
