Description

Feeling constantly tired, weak, or short of breath? You could be low in iron – a vital nutrient your body needs to produce red blood cells and transport oxygen effectively.

 

This Iron Status Profile Blood Test provides a detailed look at how well your body stores and uses iron. It’s a helpful check if you’re feeling fatigued, have pale skin, dizziness, or are at risk of iron deficiency due to diet, heavy periods, or other medical conditions.

The test measures:

 

  • Serum Iron – the amount of circulating iron in your blood

  • Ferritin – a marker of your stored iron levels

  • Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) – helps evaluate how well your body can carry iron

  • Transferrin Saturation – shows how much iron is bound to transport proteins

 

Use the convenient finger-prick sample kit at home or choose to have your blood sample professionally collected at our Neath clinic (additional fee applies). Results are usually available within 1–2 working days after your sample is received by the lab.

Warnings

 

  • Not suitable for individuals under 18.

  • This test is not a substitute for a clinical diagnosis.

  • If your results are outside normal ranges, consult with your pharmacist or GP.

  • Avoid taking iron supplements before testing unless advised otherwise, as this may affect results.

  1. Follow the instructions in the kit to collect a finger-prick blood sample at home.

  2. Alternatively, book a blood sample appointment at our Neath clinic (additional fee applies).

  3. Return the sample using the prepaid packaging included.

  4. Your results will be available securely online within 1–2 working days.
