Iron Status Panel: Precision Assessment of Iron Deficiency, Overload, and Functional Iron Imbalance
At London Blood Tests, the Iron Status Panelprovides a comprehensive and clinically precise assessment of iron metabolism, supporting accurate identification of iron deficiency, functional iron imbalance, inflammation-related changes and iron overload. Rather than relying on isolated markers, this panel evaluates ferritin, serum iron, transferrin, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and transferrin saturation together to deliver meaningful diagnostic clarity.
Serum iron levels alone can be misleading. Low ferritin may indicate depleted iron stores even before anaemia develops, while elevated TIBC and transferrin often reflect compensatory responses to iron deficiency. Reduced transferrin saturation highlights impaired iron availability to tissues, whereas raised ferritin with high transferrin saturation may signal iron overload, a condition associated with long-term liver, cardiac and endocrine complications if untreated.
The Iron Status Panel at London Blood Tests is particularly valuable for individuals experiencing persistent fatigue, cognitive impairment, hair thinning, reduced physical performance or unexplained symptoms where iron imbalance is suspected. It is also appropriate for women with heavy menstrual bleeding, post-partum depletion, athletes, and individuals with gastrointestinal or inflammatory conditions.
Results are interpreted in clinical context to support evidence-based decisions around supplementation, dietary intervention, further investigation or referral. By delivering a complete picture of iron health, London Blood Tests enables safe, targeted and informed management of iron-related disorders.
