Iron Status Profile
The Iron Status Profile measures all the essential parameters related to iron levels in the body. Anaemia is very commonly caused by low iron as red blood cells are entirely dependent on iron to transport essential oxygen around the body. This test will give you a clear indication of whether you are at risk of developing iron-deficiency anaemia, or if you already know you are anaemic, whether it is low iron that is causing it. Irone deficience anaemia can cause tiredness and lack of energy shortness of breath noticeable heartbeats (heart palpitations) paler than usual skin headaches Serum iron shows

Irone deficience anaemia can cause tiredness and lack of energy shortness of breath noticeable heartbeats (heart palpitations) paler than usual skin headaches Serum iron shows how much iron you have in your blood right now, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) anayses the ability of your blood cells to attach itself to the iron in your blood. Transferrin saturation is another way of showing how well your blood is using the iron in your body. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron. If it is low then your iron stores are low. Ferritin is also functions as a very important measure of inflammation so if there is inflammation for any other reason (such as autoimmune conditions, infections or excessive alcohol) it may be very high. If you are low in iron you can treat it is with supplements and diet changes. If you find you are high in iron it may be a condition called haemochromatosis which needs medical follow-up.
BIO MARKER
Ferritin
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. Low levels can indicate iron deficiency anaemia, while high levels can suggest iron overload or inflammation. Testing ferritin helps assess iron status.
Iron
Iron is a mineral essential for producing haemoglobin in red blood cells. Low levels can indicate anaemia, while high levels can suggest iron overload. Testing iron helps diagnose and manage these conditions.
Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
Transferrin Saturation
Transferrin Saturation measures the percentage of transferrin bound with iron. It helps assess iron status and diagnose conditions such as iron deficiency anaemia or iron overload.
Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration
Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration measures the amount of iron that is not bound to transferrin in the blood. Elevated levels can suggest iron deficiency or chronic disease, while low levels can indicate iron overload.
