Iron Status

Iron plays a vital role in transporting oxygen throughout your body, and having too little, or too much, can affect your energy, focus, and overall health.

This test measures key markers of iron status, helping to identify both iron deficiency and iron overload.

  • Iron
  • Ferritin
  • Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
  • Transferrin
  • Transferrin Saturation

What's included in the test?

This test includes a total of 5 Health Markers.

  • Iron

    A mineral the body needs to make haemoglobin, a substance in the blood that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body.

  • Ferritin

    A protein that binds to iron and stores it for use by the body.

  • Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)

    A Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) blood test measures how well your blood can carry iron. It assesses the amount of transferrin, a protein in your blood that binds to and transports iron throughout your body. 

  • Transferrin

    A protein that transports iron through the blood to various tissues, such as the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.

  • Transferrin Saturation

    Transferrin saturation is a calculated marker that shows the percentage of iron-binding sites on transferrin currently occupied by iron, helping to assess iron availability and screen for iron deficiency or iron overload.
