Overview
An Iron Profile Test is a panel of blood tests used to evaluate iron levels and iron-related parameters in the body. This test is crucial for diagnosing various conditions related to iron metabolism, including iron deficiency, iron overload, and r...
Risk Assessment
The test helps identify the risk of:
- Iron Deficiency Anemia: Characterized by fatigue, weakness, and pale skin. Common in pregnant women, menstruating women, and people with inadequate iron intake.
- Iron Overload (Hemochromatosis): An inh...
Normal Range
- Serum Iron: 60–170 µg/dL (10.74–30.43 µmol/L)
- TIBC: 240–450 µg/dL (42.96–80.55 µmol/L)
- Transferrin Saturation: 20–50%
- Ferritin:
- Men: 24–336 ng/mL
- ...
Interpretation
1. Iron Deficiency:
- Low serum iron
- Low ferritin
- High TIBC (because the body tries to bind more available iron)
- Low transferrin saturation
2. Iron Ove...
Sample Type
The iron profile test requires a blood sample, which is typically drawn from a vein in the arm (venipuncture). It's recommended to fast for 12 hours before the test, as food can temporarily raise iron levels in the blood, leading to inaccurate res...

Description
The Iron Profile Test is a comprehensive blood test that measures key iron-related parameters, including serum iron, ferritin, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). It helps diagnose iron deficiency, iron overload, and related conditions like anemia or hemochromatosis. Ideal for those experiencing fatigue, weakness, or other symptoms of iron imbalance.
