What we test

Iron Studies

Iron studies assess various aspects of iron metabolism, including serum iron, ferritin, and transferrin saturation, to determine your body’s iron levels. Iron deficiency, which affects around 1 in 8 Australians, can lead to fatigue, weakness, and decreased immunity. This test is crucial for detecting both iron deficiency and overload, ensuring that your iron levels are balanced to support energy levels, cognitive function, and overall health.
