This package is specifically designed to assess the body’s iron status and overall iron metabolism, which play a vital role in red blood cell production, oxygen transport, and energy levels. It includes four key parameters that give a comprehensive picture of iron balance: Serum Iron: Measures the amount of circulating iron in the blood bound to transferrin. Low levels may indicate iron deficiency or chronic illness, while high levels can suggest iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis. Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): Reflects the blood’s capacity to bind and carry iron. A high TIBC generally indicates low iron stores (iron deficiency), whereas a low TIBC may point to chronic disease or iron overload. Transferrin: A protein that transports iron in the blood. Measuring transferrin helps evaluate how well iron is being carried and whether the body is producing adequate transport proteins. Iron Saturation % (Transferrin Saturation): Calculated from serum iron and TIBC, it shows how much of the available transferrin is saturated with iron. Low saturation suggests iron deficiency, while high levels suggest excess iron. Together, these tests provide a complete evaluation of iron availability, storage, and transport in the body. read more

The purpose of this package is to diagnose, monitor, and manage iron-related disorders that can impact energy, immunity, and organ health. Detecting Iron Deficiency Anemia: Low serum iron, low saturation, and high TIBC are classic signs of iron deficiency, a leading cause of fatigue, weakness, and low immunity. Identifying Chronic Diseases: Certain conditions like chronic infections, inflammation, or kidney/liver disease can affect iron metabolism, reflected in altered transferrin and TIBC levels. Monitoring Iron Overload Disorders: High iron and high saturation % may indicate hemochromatosis, frequent blood transfusions, or excessive iron supplementation. Guiding Treatment Plans: Results help doctors decide on iron supplementation, dietary adjustments, or further investigations into underlying causes of abnormal iron levels. Supporting Women’s Health: Particularly useful for women with heavy menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or nutritional deficiencies, where iron imbalance is common. This package is most beneficial for: Individuals with persistent fatigue, weakness, or dizziness Patients with unexplained anemia People on long-term iron therapy or supplements Individuals suspected of iron overload Women with pregnancy-related or menstrual-related iron loss By providing an in-depth view of the body’s iron balance, this package enables early detection of deficiencies or overload, ensures proper treatment, and helps maintain optimal blood and energy health. read more
