Accurately detects 4 biomarkers for a comprehensive iron profile, including:
On-site Iron Blood Test by appointment or walk-in. Our blood test detects 4 (four) biomarkers, mainly haemoglobin, for a comprehensive iron profile. An iron profile is used to detect iron deficiency.
Iron is essential for human metabolism and transport of oxygen across the entire body.
Deficiency can cause fatigue, weakness, or nausea, and occur more frequently in women, vegetarians, and vegans.
Iron rich foods include red meat, beans, fruits (apples, grapes, tomatoes), and vegetables (spinach).
This exam detects 4 (four) biomarkers for an iron profile:
Iron (oxygen transport).
CRP HS (C-reactive protein High Sensitivity), which measures inflammation levels.
Ferritin levels (quantity in your blood).
TIBC (quantity in your blood).

Frequent clinic questions
Q: What is the significance of this mineral?
A: It is indispensable to existence, as it is crucial for the metabolism, oxygen transport, immune function, and red cell formation.
Q: Does pregnancy affect my levels?
A: Its requirements increase as the body utilizes minerals to facilitate the transportation of oxygen for both you and your infant. The body’s blood volume increases by 30-50% during pregnancy.
Q: From which sources can I obtain it?
A: Red meat, legumes, dried fruits, cereals, bread, pasta, and pork are among the nutrient-dense foods.
Q: Is the mineral crucial for an individual who is physically active?
A: It is essential for the maintenance and support of your energy, as your body muscles utilize it to generate it.
Q: Which beverages are particularly rich in this mineral?
A: Beetroot, apple, grape, spinach, and pumpkin liquid.
Q: Is it permissible for me to consume supplements for this condition?
A: It is imperative that you consult with your physician prior to making any decisions.
Q: What potential adverse effects may result from the consumption of the supplements?
A: Constipation, vertigo, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort may occur.
Q: What are the symptoms?
A: You may experience shortness of breath, fatigue, heart palpitations, and pallid skin.
Q: What implications does it have if it remains untreated?
A: The risk of infection can be elevated due to the potential impact on your heart and airways. Complications may arise both during pregnancy and subsequent to delivery.
Q: In the event that I encounter complications, what is the most effective course of action?
A: In the event that you have a deficiency, it is recommended that you undergo tests for ferritin, CBC, and Fe.
Q: What is the process?
A: A sample will be obtained from your arm by our certified nurse. Initially, she will use an alcohol swab to cleanse your skin and secure a band around your upper arm to enhance the visibility of your veins. She will insert a needle affixed to a vial to collect the sample, which may fill one or more vials, once she locates a vein.
