Designed to comprehensively assess your iron levels, lab testing helps you make informed decisions about your health.

Why is iron blood testing important?

Iron plays a crucial role in the functioning of every major organ in your body. The right balance — not too little or too much—is essential. When iron levels are not ideal, it can lead to significant health issues, affecting everything from energy levels to your heart.

Iron is not just a mineral, it's a crucial component of your health.

When we realized almost all of our patients didn’t know their iron status we moved to make this testing more available. Our iron blood testing is now available directly to you and is an opportunity to monitor an important part of your health that is often overlooked.

Who is at risk of iron deficiency?:

  • Women: Particularly those who are pregnant, menstruating, or breastfeeding.

  • Infants and Children: Especially those born prematurely or experiencing rapid growth spurts.

  • Vegetarians and Vegans: Individuals who don’t consume iron-rich meat products.

  • Frequent Blood Donors: Regular blood donations can deplete iron stores.

  • People with Certain Medical Conditions: Those with gastrointestinal disorders, chronic diseases, or who have undergone surgery affecting the digestive system.

  • Athletes: Especially endurance athletes who may have higher iron requirements.

  • Older Adults: Aging can affect nutrient absorption, including iron.

Who is at risk of iron overload?:

  • Men: Men are generally at higher risk as they do not lose iron through menstruation.

  • Postmenopausal Women: Women after menopause are no longer losing iron through menstruation, increasing the risk of iron accumulation.

  • People Who Take Iron Supplements: Excessive or unnecessary iron supplementation can lead to overload.

  • Individuals with Hemochromatosis: Those with hereditary hemochromatosis, a genetic disorder causing excessive iron absorption. If hemochromatosis runs in your family, regular screening is essential.

  • Frequent Blood Transfusion Recipients: Patients with conditions like thalassemia or sickle cell anemia may receive multiple blood transfusions, leading to iron buildup.

  • People with Chronic Liver Disease: Conditions like hepatitis or alcohol-related liver disease can impair the body’s ability to manage iron levels.
