Also known as: Iron test, iron profile, blood iron studies
Measures/Identifies
Measures different values related to the amount of iron in your body and how well it is transported to your cells.
Who is it for?
People who need a detailed evaluation of their iron levels, those diagnosed with anemia and want to understand the cause, or patients who need to monitor the effectiveness of their treatment.
Why this test?
This test evaluates iron metabolism by measuring several parameters that determine the amount of iron in the body and its ability to be properly transported to cells. It is recommended for patients who need a comprehensive evaluation of iron metabolism, those who have been diagnosed with anemia and wish to identify the underlying cause, and those who require monitoring of treatment effectiveness. It includes measurements of total serum iron, transferrin and its saturation, ferritin, and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) to detect deficiencies, transport issues, or storage problems related to anemia or iron imbalance.
