Overview:
Our Iron Blood Test is designed to comprehensively check your body's iron levels.
Iron is essential for making red blood cells and transporting oxygen throughout your body. Low iron can cause fatigue, weakness, and other health issues, while too much iron may lead to complications like organ damage. This test measures your current iron levels to help identify deficiencies or overloads, giving you a clear picture of your iron status. Ideal if you're feeling tired, experiencing dizziness, or have a history of anaemia. Take control of your health with fast and accurate results from our Iron Blood Test.
Please note that if you are feeling any of these symptoms then it may be better to start with our Tiredness & Fatigue Blood Test or our Anaemia Blood Test.
What This Test Includes:
Measures the iron storage level in your body
Your body’s capacity to bind and transport iron
The protein that carries iron through the bloodstream
The percentage of transferrin that is carrying iron
