    Laboratory tests for thrombocytopenia might include full blood count, liver enzymes, kidney function, vitamin B 12 levels, folic acid levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and peripheral blood smear.

    The transfusions itself alleviates the symptoms of anemia, and are used to treat the disease that causes transfusion dependence. [9] The recommended restrictive threshold for blood transfusion is a hemoglobin level of 7 to 8 g/dL, while a more liberal threshold is set at 9 to 10 g/dL. [10]
