Iron status
What Is the Iron Status Test?
The Iron Status test is a targeted blood panel designed to assess your body’s iron levels and iron storage capacity. Iron is essential for producing healthy red blood cells and transporting oxygen throughout the body.
This test is suitable for individuals experiencing fatigue, weakness, dizziness, hair thinning or symptoms suggestive of iron deficiency or anaemia. It is also useful for monitoring iron levels during supplementation.
What This Test Measures
Your Iron Status panel includes detailed analysis of:
Iron
Ferritin
Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
Transferrin
Transferrin Saturation
These markers help evaluate iron levels, iron storage, and the body’s ability to transport iron, providing a comprehensive assessment of potential iron deficiency or overload.
