About this test

Are you at high risk of iron-deficiency anaemia, like increased blood loss or dietary deficiency, or do you have symptoms of iron overload, such as diabetes and liver disease? Our simple blood test measures your ferritin levels (a protein that stores iron in your body) to tell you whether your stored iron is high or low, helping you investigate anaemia or iron overload.
