Iron Studies, Panel

Iron deficiency profile checks for the capability of the body to produce to make hemoglobin and RBC. These tests are used to detect and help diagnose iron deficiency or iron overload. In people with anemia, these tests can help determine whether the condition is due to iron deficiency or another cause, such as chronic blood loss or some other illness. Any deficiency, if treated with proper medical advice, can be curative. Neglect can lead to chronic fatigue and other nutritional disturbances.
Serum ferritin is a more sensitive & reliable indicator of Iron deficiency.
