Iron, Total

Experiencing fatigue, weakness, pale skin, brittle nails, or difficulty concentrating? These can be signs of an iron-related disorder. The Iron Total Blood Test measures the total amount of iron in your body, which is essential for producing hemoglobin and transporting oxygen through your blood.

This iron blood test is instrumental in identifying conditions such as iron-deficiency anemia, caused by insufficient iron, or iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis, where too much iron can damage organs.

By accurately assessing your iron levels, the Iron Total Test plays a crucial role in guiding your healthcare provider toward the right medical interventions and treatment strategies. Regular monitoring helps ensure balanced iron levels, supporting energy production, cognitive function, and overall well-being.
