Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical assessment and laboratory tests. Common tests include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Provides information on RBC, WBC, and platelet levels. - Peripheral Smear: Examines the shape and size of blood cells. - Reticulocyte Count: Measures immature RBCs to assess bone marrow function. - Coagulation Tests: Evaluates clotting function if thrombocytopenia is suspected.
