This comprehensive Iron Panel is designed to assess your body’s iron levels and its ability to store, transport, and utilise iron effectively. It’s ideal for individuals dealing with fatigue, low energy, hair thinning, or those at risk of iron deficiency or overload. With a simple and convenient, at-home iron blood test kit, you can easily check your iron levels and identify whether you have too little or too much iron, which can affect your energy levels, immune function, and overall health. 

Why Get Tested?

Iron plays an important role in keeping you healthy and active. Being an essential component of haemoglobin, it plays a key role in the production of Red Blood Cells and supports the transport of oxygen to your organs and tissues. 

Too high or too low an iron level in the body may cause multiple health issues. Low iron levels can lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, headaches, and weakness, whereas high levels may cause organ damage over time.

Therefore, regular iron level monitoring is necessary to avoid serious health issues and keep yourself healthy and active.

What Gets Tested

What This Iron Test Measures

Iron Status & Storage

  • Iron: The amount of iron circulating in your blood
  • Ferritin: A protein that stores iron — an early and accurate marker of iron deficiency
  • Transferrin & TIBC: Indicate how much iron your blood can carry and bind
  • Transferrin Saturation: Shows how much transferrin is actually carrying iron — helps identify both deficiency and overload
This test helps detect
  • Iron deficiency anaemia
  • Iron overload (hemochromatosis)
  • Poor iron absorption or malnutrition
  • Fatigue caused by low iron levels

Who Should Take This Test

How Our Iron Panel Test Works

  • Place Your Order

    Place your order online and receive a test kit delivered to your home. You’ll need to bring this kit with you to your scheduled appointment at one of our partner blood collection clinics.

  • Attend Your Appointment

    At your chosen clinic, a trained nurse or phlebotomist will collect your blood sample using the kit you bring. If a sample collection courier is not available at the site, you’ll be asked to take the sealed sample with you and post it using the prepaid packaging provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a normal range of iron in the blood?

The level of iron in the body keeps fluctuating with diet and lifestyle changes. To identify the normal range, ferritin is measured, which checks the stored iron level in your body. For general health, a ferritin level less than 30 micrograms/L is considered a ‘deficiency’.

Do I need to fast for this test?

Yes — fasting for 8–10 hours is recommended for the most accurate iron level results.

Can I test if I’m already on iron supplements?

Yes, but it's ideal to test before your daily dose or after a short pause, unless advised otherwise by a doctor.

How is this different from a basic iron test?

This panel gives a fuller picture — including transport (transferrin), storage (ferritin), and binding capacity — not just circulating iron.

Can this detect hemochromatosis?

It can suggest iron overload, but genetic testing is required for confirmation of hereditary hemochromatosis.

What causes iron deficiency?

Iron deficiency is usually caused by a low-iron diet, blood loss due to pregnancy, heavy periods, internal bleeding, or an injury. People taking steroids or blood thinners are also at a greater risk of developing iron deficiency.

What is iron, and why is it important?

Iron is an essential mineral in the body that is required to make haemoglobin, an oxygen-transporting protein found in Red Blood Cells. Too high or too low levels of iron in the blood may cause multiple health issues, including severe fatigue, a compromised immune system, and frequent infections.

What happens if the iron level exceeds the normal range?

Excessive use of iron supplements and iron-rich foods, or Haemochromatosis, are the common reasons causing too much iron to be stored in your liver. This extra buildup of iron may result in cardiovascular health issues, joint pain, and liver disease.

What are the different types of Iron tests?

Generally, there are 4 different types of tests used to check the iron level in the body. Your healthcare advisor may order a specific test or a combination of 2 or more blood tests to understand your results better. These iron blood tests are:

  • Ferritin Blood Test: Checks the stored iron level in the body.
  • Serum Iron Test: Measures the amount of iron in the blood.
  • Transferrin Test: Measures the level of ‘transferrin protein’ in the blood that transports iron throughout the body.
  • Total Iron-binding Capacity (TIBC): Determines the binding capacity of iron with transferrin and other proteins in the blood.
