What is a Serum Iron test?
The Serum Iron test is used to check the level of iron in the blood. Iron is very essential for making red blood cells (RBCs). It is also very important for healthy muscles and bone marrow.
When is the Serum Iron test recommended?
It is recommended: If you have any signs or symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia, like pallor, fatigue, weakness, and headache. If you have signs or symptoms of increased accumulation of iron in the body, like joint pain, abdominal pain, fatigue, or loss of body hair. If your CBC shows that your haemoglobin and haematocrit are low and your RBCs are smaller and paler than normal, this usually suggests iron deficiency or anaemia.
What does it measure?
The Serum Iron test measures: The amount of iron in the liquid portion of the blood. It is almost always checked with the other iron tests, such as serum ferritin, transferrin, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). It is a very critical part of haemoglobin, the protein in RBCs that binds oxygen in the lungs and releases it as blood circulates to other parts of the body.
