What is Iron Profile?

The Iron Profile test measures various components related to iron in your blood, including serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation. It provides a comprehensive overview of your body's iron status.

Why is this test important?

This profile is essential for diagnosing and monitoring iron deficiency anemia, iron overload (hemochromatosis), and other conditions affecting iron metabolism. It helps understand if your body has enough iron for vital functions like oxygen transport.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours is usually required before this test. Please consult your doctor for specific instructions.
