Iron (Serum Iron)

Iron (Serum Iron) measures the level of iron in your blood and helps assess how effectively your body transports and stores iron. It is commonly used to investigate iron deficiency, iron overload and conditions affecting red blood cell production.

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.
