The Iron Panel is a simple blood test that checks your iron level and how your body carries and stores it. It is also called Iron Studies, Iron Profile, or Iron and TIBC with Ferritin. This panel includes Fe + TIBC + Ferritin. You can book at participating labs on LabFinder and pick a time that works for you.
This test, sometimes listed as Iron Indices or Fe TIBC Ferritin, measures serum iron, TIBC or transferrin, transferrin saturation, and ferritin. It shows if your iron is low, normal, or high and helps your doctor see how your body moves and stores iron.
Common reasons: tiredness, pale skin, shortness of breath with light activity, hair loss, or cravings for ice. Doctor follow up: checking unusual CBC results or a known anemia. Monitoring: people on iron pills or IV iron, or those with conditions that affect iron balance.
Check in with your ID and lab order. A technician cleans your arm, places a small needle, and draws a tube of blood. You may feel a quick pinch. A bandage is placed and you can head out. Plan about 10 to 20 minutes at the lab.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. Hard exercise or taking iron right before testing can affect some values, so follow any instructions you were given.
Fasting: some doctors prefer a morning draw after 8 to 12 hours without food. Supplements: ask if you should skip your iron pill the morning of the test. Hydration: drink water so veins are easy to find. Timing notes: tell the lab if you had a transfusion or IV iron recently. Bring a list of your medicines and any recent lab results.
Iron deficiency anemia, blood loss from heavy periods or stomach issues, long lasting inflammation, possible hemochromatosis which is iron overload, kidney disease, and tiredness with unclear cause. Results are one part of the picture. Your doctor will review them with your history and symptoms before sharing next steps.
