Book a Test- Iron Profile

An iron test is a medical test used to measure the level of iron in the blood. Iron is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body's tissues. The test is typically used to diagnose and monitor conditions related to iron deficiency or overload, such as anemia, iron deficiency, and hemochromatosis. The test usually involves a blood sample, which is then analyzed for various markers of iron levels, including serum iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin. The results provide information about the body's iron stores and can help healthcare providers diagnose and treat iron-related disorders. Abnormal iron levels can be caused by a range of factors, including poor diet, chronic bleeding, and certain medical conditions.
