Difficulty concentrating
Memory problems
Poor hair & nail health
Tiredness

What is tested?

Iron:
Shows the amount of iron in your blood. Lower levels can mean you have iron deficiency anaemia, whereas high levels can suggest liver problems.
Total iron binding concentration:
Measures your blood’s ability to transport iron. This marker can help explain why there’s either too much or too little iron in the body.
Transferrin:
A protein produced by the liver that transports iron around your body.
Unsaturated iron binding concentration:
Measures the amount of transferrin in your body that’s not carrying iron.
Ferritin:
A protein used to store iron. Ferritin levels show how much iron your body has stored.

FAQs

Depending on your results, restoring low iron levels can take up to 6 months. That’s why it can be helpful to test regularly to monitor your progress.

If you have too much iron in your body, it gets stored in organs like your liver, heart and pancreas. This build-up of iron can cause heart problems, joint pain and liver disease. Luckily, there are treatments that can reduce the amount of iron in your body and lessen the risk of long-term damage.

If your iron levels are below the normal range, you may be at risk of iron-deficiency anaemia. Symptoms of iron-deficiency anaemia include:

  • tiredness
  • lack of energy
  • headaches
  • difficulty concentrating
  • nail problems
  • restless legs 

If our test finds your iron levels are too low, we'll let you know right away and recommend you make an appointment with your GP.

Iron is important in making red blood cells which carry oxygen around your body. It also helps keep your muscles healthy, supports your immune system and helps your organs work properly. The Iron Blood Test measures your iron levels, iron stores and indicates inflammation levels.

Talk to your doctor before taking this test. Being pregnant can have a noticeable impact on your results, so make sure to check in with your GP first.
