A 14-month-old girl is brought to your office with a three months history of progressive pallor, irritability and lethargy. Mother has noticed puffiness around the child's eyes and side of the face when she wakes up in the morning. Diet consists of 6 to 8 bottles (40 to 60 oz) of milk a day but does not eat solid food. Her Hgb is 60 g/L, MCV 68 fL, and platelets 310x109/L. Which one of the following tests is most likely to be helpful in the diagnosis of this child's condition?
1) direct and indirect antiglobulin test
2) stool for occult blood
3) hemoglobin electrophoresis, reticulocyte count
4) transferrin receptor
5) serum iron and TIBC

4) transferrin receptor
5) serum iron and TIBC
No solid food .. so we put the Celiac Disease aside ...........and we go with Hb.Pathies as she is 12 months and she already passed the protective phase of the Fetal Hb ...............Please correct me if wrong and please agree if I'm right
