Iron Studies

Iron studies are a series of blood tests that help assess the body’s iron levels and identify conditions related to iron metabolism. Key components include serum iron, which measures the amount of circulating iron, ferritin, which indicates stored iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation, which shows how well iron is transported in the blood. These tests can help diagnose conditions like iron deficiency anemia or iron overload disorders, providing valuable information for managing your overall health, especially regarding blood and oxygen transport in the body.
