The Iron Studies Blood Test measures four markers: ferritin, serum iron, transferrin and transferrin saturation. Together they show how much iron your body stores, carries and can use.
Haemoglobin on its own can look normal while iron stores are low, so iron studies give a fuller picture than a basic blood count. Low iron is one of several possible causes of tiredness and hair shedding.
What the Iron Studies Blood Test measures
| Biomarker | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Ferritin | Your iron stores |
| Serum iron | The iron currently circulating in your blood |
| Transferrin | The protein that carries iron around your body |
| Transferrin saturation | The percentage of transferrin that is carrying iron |

Frequently asked questions
How long do results take?
Results are usually available within 72 hours.
Does this test diagnose iron deficiency anaemia?
It measures your iron markers so they can be compared with reference ranges. Diagnosing anaemia also involves a full blood count and a clinical assessment.
Should I stop iron supplements before the test?
We will tell you how to prepare when you book, including whether to pause supplements beforehand.
Is there a test that covers more than iron?
The Vitamin & Nutrient Blood Test adds B12, vitamin D, folate, magnesium and a full blood count.
