Iron Status Blood Test

Service Description

Have your energy levels changed with no real explanation? Are you experience weakness, joint pain or a rapid heart beat? Find out if you have an iron imbalance with our Iron Status Blood Test. Iron is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in the body's function. It is a key component of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. Iron is also involved in energy metabolism, DNA synthesis, and maintaining a healthy immune system. Adequate iron levels are vital for overall health, as deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, impaired cognitive function, and anaemia. Our Iron Status Blood Test checks: - Iron - Ferritin - Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) - Transferrin - Transferrin Saturation Ferritin is a protein found inside cells that stores and releases iron in a controlled manner. It is a crucial indicator of the body's iron stores. It is incredibly useful for early detection of iron deficiency. TIBC is a measure of the ability of proteins in the blood to bind with iron. Transferrin is the primary carrier protein of iron in the blood. Don't wait any longer to find out if your Iron level is out of balance. Book your Iron Status Blood Test in Dublin or Kildare today.
