Iron Test
Your body needs the right amount of iron to stay active, energetic, and healthy. At QHD Pathlabs, our Iron Test helps detect whether your body has too little or too much iron, both of which can affect your blood, organs, and overall health.
What is an Iron Test?
An Iron Test is a simple blood test that measures the amount of iron circulating in your blood. Iron plays a key role in producing hemoglobin — the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body. Imbalances in iron can cause conditions like anemia, fatigue, or organ damage.
Why You Should Get an Iron Test
Early detection of anemia: Identifies low iron levels before symptoms worsen.
Checks for iron overload: Prevents damage caused by excess iron storage in organs.
Evaluates unexplained symptoms: Such as fatigue, pale skin, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
Monitors treatment progress: If you are on iron supplements or therapy.
Who Should Take This Test?
Individuals with fatigue, weakness, or pale skin
Women with heavy menstrual cycles
People with chronic illnesses or nutritional deficiencies
Patients under iron therapy or supplementation
Those with family history of anemia or hemochromatosis
