This test may be recommended if you experience:
Persistent fatigue or weakness
Pale skin
Dizziness
Shortness of breath
Hair loss
Restless legs
Suspected anaemia
Monitoring iron supplementation
Results should be interpreted alongside other iron studies such as Ferritin, Transferrin and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) when appropriate.
