Overview:
Our Haemochromatosis Blood Test checks for specific gene mutations (HFE gene) that cause haemochromatosis, a condition where the body absorbs too much iron.
Early detection of these gene mutations can help prevent iron overload, which may lead to serious health issues like liver disease, heart problems, and diabetes if left untreated. This test is ideal if you have a family history of haemochromatosis or are experiencing symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, or abnormal iron levels. Get accurate results and take control of your health by understanding your genetic risk today!
