There are a total of three tests under the umbrella of the iron studies test – serum transferrin, iron serum, and total iron-binding capacity. Iron is one of the most crucial micronutrients needed by the body, performing functions like transportation of oxygen in the Red Blood Cells of the body. The iron that is absorbed from our diet and transferred around the body is handled by a protein called Transferrin. The iron studies test is a crucial test that revolves around the transferrin protein inside the body.

About Iron Studies Test

Why is the Iron Studies test done?

The iron studies test is done for the following reasons:

  • To check if the patient is suffering from anaemia (a condition where the RBC count or Haemoglobin is lower than usual) due to iron deficiency that is detected by regular check-ups.
  • To determine if there is a deficiency of iron inside the body.To judge if there are excess levels of iron inside the body.
  • To determine the capacity of the blood to carry iron all around the body.

The three tests that are done under iron studies – serum transferrin, iron serum, and iron-binding capacity all cover these four aspects.

What does the Iron Studies test measure?

Iron can only be received by the body from external sources. Most of the iron that we receive from our diet is converted to Haemoglobin in the red blood cells. The protein Transferrin is produced by the liver inside the body. Low levels of Transferrin affect the transfer and utilization of iron inside the body. Most of the free iron received by the body is bound to Transferrin. Transferrin decreases if there is inflammation inside the body. Ferritin is another such protein associated with iron.

The level of iron is judged by both ferritin and transferrin levels inside the body. The Iron Serum Test measures the level of iron that is present inside the body. Serum Transferrin test measures the level of Transferrin inside the body – bound or unbound with iron. These tests are done simultaneously to get a good overview of the level of iron present inside the body.

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
