IRON STUDIES

An Iron Studies test, also called Iron Profile or Iron Tests, is a blood test done to understand iron levels in the body. Iron plays an important role in making hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. An Iron Studies test in Bhilwara is commonly advised when doctor suspects anemia, iron deficiency, or iron overload.

Low or high iron levels can cause tiredness, weakness, and many other symptoms. Sometimes people don’t realize iron is the issue until blood tests are done, so this test helps in finding the real reason.

An Iron Studies test includes a few important parameters. Each one tells something different about iron status.

• Iron (Serum Iron): This shows how much iron is present in the blood. Low iron is commonly seen in iron deficiency anemia, while high levels may occur due to excessive iron intake or certain disorders.
• Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): TIBC measures how well blood can bind iron. High TIBC usually means body is trying to capture more iron, often seen in iron deficiency. Low TIBC may be linked with chronic illness or iron overload.
• Transferrin Saturation: This value shows how much of the transferrin protein is actually carrying iron. Low transferrin saturation often suggests iron deficiency, while high value can point towards iron overload.
