Iron Studies inc. Ferretin

Iron studies are a group of blood tests that evaluate your body's iron levels and how well it's using this vital mineral. These tests typically include serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation, and ferritin levels. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron, and measuring its level helps determine your body's iron stores. These tests are crucial for diagnosing conditions like iron deficiency anemia, iron overload (hemochromatosis), and other disorders affecting iron metabolism, ensuring proper diagnosis and treatment.
