    What is a Iron Profile Test?

    The Iron Profile test is a set of blood tests that determine the levels of iron and iron-binding proteins in your body. Iron is critical for red blood cell production and oxygen transportation. Both low and high iron levels can cause health problems such as iron metabolism disorders, iron deficiency anaemia, and iron overload. This test examines the iron levels in addition to the levels of transferrin, the primary iron-transporting protein, and the ability of iron to bind to this protein. Evaluating these parameters collectively helps pinpoint the nature and extent of iron-related abnormalities, guiding appropriate treatment and management strategies.

    People in Gurgaon experiencing health issues potentially linked to iron imbalance can benefit from booking an Iron Profile test in Gurgaon.

    Iron Profile Test Parameters

    The Iron Profile Blood test consists of the following parameters:

    Serum Iron

    Measures the iron concentration in your blood.

    Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC)

    Evaluates how well iron binds to proteins like transferrin, indicating the body's iron reserves.

    Transferrin Saturation

    The ratio of serum iron to TIBC, indicating the percentage of transferrin that is saturated with iron.

    Unsaturated Iron-Binding Capacity (UIBC)

    Assesses the amount of transferrin available to transport iron in your bloodstream.

    Iron Profile Test Preparation

    Here are key factors to consider before an Iron Profile Blood test:

    Prerequisites

    You do not need to fast for the Iron Profile test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    Iron levels are highest in the morning and decrease during the day, so the test is generally done in the morning. Your doctor will provide the best advice regarding 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 shows abnormalities in red cell counts. It is also necessary if you have symptoms of either low or high iron levels.

    Cautions Before Taking Iron Profile Test

    There are no specific precautions for the Iron Profile test. However, inform your doctor about any vitamins, supplements, herbs, medications, over-the-counter drugs, and any illicit substances you are taking.

    Why Take a Iron Profile Test?

    Your doctor might suggest an Iron Profile test if they suspect your iron levels are abnormal, particularly if you are pregnant. Low iron levels during pregnancy can increase the risk of developmental delays in babies.

    Symptoms of low iron include:

    • Feeling cold

    • Frequent illness

    • Fatigue

    • Difficulties at school or work

    • Tongue swelling

    • Delayed learning in children

    Symptoms of high iron levels include:

    • Abdominal Pain

    • Joint Pain

    • Fatigue

    The Iron Profile Blood test is important for various reasons:

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Iron Profile Test Results & Interpretation

    Understanding your Iron Profile test results is critical, as they demonstrate your body’s iron levels. Here is what your results could indicate:

    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 %

    To interpret your Iron Profile test results, your doctor will look at your age, symptoms, medical history, and other blood tests. If your iron levels are low, it might suggest iron deficiency anaemia or thalassaemia, an inherited blood disorder where the body produces fewer healthy red blood cells than normal. Further tests may be necessary to diagnose thalassaemia. If your iron levels are high, it could indicate conditions like liver disease, haemochromatosis, or lead poisoning. However, abnormal iron test results do not always signify a health issue. Hormonal changes during menstruation or certain medications, including birth control pills, can also affect iron levels. TIBC can be influenced by oestrogens and oral contraceptives. Transferrin saturation is observed in conditions like idiopathic haemochromatosis and transfusional haemosiderosis. Regardless of your test results, it is crucial to schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor for further evaluation and suitable care.

I messed up with the urine sample, but he was accommodative and was able to resolve the problem. The whole process was hassle free and quick. No reason to delay regular health check ups now.

    • It was a bit different and nice experience than the other lab people who come to home for collection. The staff was well groomed and dressed. Had a fresh N93 mask and removed shoes outside home. He didn't touch anything after entering and started wearing all his gears which I noticed was unpacked and fresh. Very neatly took swab, disposed the gears separately in his bag and left. Thorough professional. Also, got report within time. Quick and prompt service.

    • Good first experience availing the services. Easy to place a request for at home sample collection. In fact the collection was scheduled in no time, which I really appreciate because it was a RTPCR where time is of essence. The phlebotomist arrived on time despite a heavy rain. He was courteous and quite skilled. The report came on time too. The status updates were easily available. Customer care was prompt and helpful. Based on my first experience, I recommend Orange Health.
