Advanced Iron Profile Blood Test

The Advanced Iron Profile Blood Test offers a comprehensive assessment of your iron levels and risk of iron deficiency anaemia or iron overload. By analyzing your iron and ferritin levels, as well as your blood's capacity to bind and transport iron, this test provides detailed insights into your overall iron status. Symptoms such as tiredness, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations may indicate iron deficiency anaemia, while high iron levels can affect heart health and long-term well-being.

The test covers various parameters, including total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), ferritin, iron, and transferrin saturation. TIBC measures your blood's ability to bind and transport iron, while ferritin quantifies the iron stored in your body. Iron, crucial for hemoglobin production and oxygen transport, is assessed alongside transferrin saturation, which evaluates iron bound to transferrin. This comprehensive analysis aids in identifying iron deficiency or overload, guiding appropriate management strategies to optimize health and well-being.
