    What is a Iron Profile Test?

    The Iron Profile test includes several blood tests that measure the levels of iron and iron-binding proteins in your body. Iron is a vital mineral for red blood cell production and oxygen transportation. Imbalances in iron levels can lead to health issues like iron deficiency anaemia, iron metabolism disorders, and iron overload. This test evaluates the iron levels in addition to transferrin levels, the main iron-transporting protein, and the ability of iron to bind to this protein. By collectively assessing these parameters, it helps pinpoint the nature and extent of iron-related abnormalities, guiding appropriate treatment and management strategies.

    If you live in Delhi and suspect iron levels might be affecting your health, schedule an Iron Profile test in Delhi today.

    Iron Profile Test Parameters

    The Iron Profile Blood test checks several key parameters like:

    Serum Iron

    Quantifies the iron level in your bloodstream.

    Unsaturated Iron-Binding Capacity (UIBC)

    Checks the availability of transferrin to carry iron in your blood.

    Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC)

    Measures the capability of iron to attach to proteins, including transferrin, reflecting the body's iron storage.

    Transferrin Saturation

    The proportion of serum iron to TIBC, indicating the percentage of iron-bound transferrin.

    Iron Profile Test Preparation

    Before having an Iron Profile Blood test, keep these factors in mind:

    Prerequisites

    No fasting or special preparation is needed for the Iron Profile test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    Iron levels are generally highest in the morning and decrease as the day goes on, so the test is usually scheduled in the morning. Your doctor will provide the best guidance on the timing of your test.

    Who Should Take an Iron Profile Test

    The Iron Profile Blood test is typically recommended if your full blood count reveals abnormalities in red cell counts. It is also necessary if you exhibit symptoms of low or high iron levels.

    Cautions Before Taking Iron Profile Test

    No specific precautions are required before taking the Iron Profile test. Inform your doctor about any vitamins, medications, non-prescription drugs, supplements, herbs, and any illicit substances you are taking before the test.

    Why Take a Iron Profile Test?

    Your doctor may recommend an Iron Profile test if they suspect your iron levels are abnormal, especially during pregnancy. Low iron levels during pregnancy might lead to developmental problems in newborns. Symptoms of low iron consist of frequent sickness, fatigue, tongue swelling, feeling cold, difficulty at school or work, and delayed learning in children. Whereas symptoms of high iron consist of joint pain, abdominal pain, and fatigue.

    The Iron Profile Blood test is important for the following reasons:

    • Tracking Iron Overload Conditions : High iron levels may indicate hereditary hemochromatosis, which can harm organs if not treated.

    • Evaluating for Restless Legs Syndrome : Characterised by tingling or burning sensations in the legs.

    • Diagnosing Iron Deficiency Anaemia : Low iron levels can lead to anaemia, causing fatigue, weakness, and other symptoms.

    • Monitoring Iron Therapy : Determines the effectiveness of iron supplementation or iron-chelation therapy for iron overload.

    • Identifying Underlying Causes : Abnormal iron levels may point to underlying conditions such as liver diseases.

    • Evaluating Iron Levels in Chronic Conditions : Chronic illnesses like kidney disease or inflammatory bowel disease can affect iron levels and require monitoring.

    Iron Profile Test Results & Interpretation

    Knowing the Iron Profile test results is vital since they indicate your body’s iron levels. Here is what your results may suggest:

    Iron Profile TestBiological Reference
    Serum Iron Test49-181 µg/dL
    Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)261-462 µg/dL
    Unbound Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC)110-370 µg/dL
    Transferrin Saturation16-55 %

    In order to understand your Iron Profile test results, your doctor will take into account your age, symptoms, medical history, and other blood tests. Low iron levels may suggest iron deficiency anaemia or thalassaemia, an inherited blood disorder where the body produces fewer healthy red blood cells than normal. Additional tests may be needed to diagnose thalassaemia. High iron levels could indicate conditions such as liver disease, haemochromatosis, or lead poisoning. However, abnormal iron test results do not necessarily mean you have a health issue. Hormonal changes during menstruation or certain medications, like birth control pills, can also affect iron levels. TIBC can be affected by oestrogens and oral contraceptives. Transferrin saturation occurs in conditions like idiopathic haemochromatosis and transfusional haemosiderosis. Regardless of your test outcomes, it is important to schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor for further assessment and suitable care.

    • Very fast service and convenient I don’t have to travel to get test done which is very good thing for me.

    • Good service .Instant visits. Only thing is the TAT(time) for some test is like too high, e.g CBC by other labs comes in 2 hrs whereas here with orange lab it is set for 6 hrs. An achievable & relaistic value here would be TAT max 4 hrs from time of collection of sample for the result of CBC to arrive. They should revise their TAT accordingly on app and website.
