The Comprehensive Iron Panel is designed to provide a detailed analysis of your body’s iron status, helping to identify deficiencies, excesses, and imbalances in iron metabolism.
It measures key biomarkers;
⌬ Serum Iron: Measures the amount of iron in the bloodstream.
⌬ Ferritin: Indicates the body’s stored iron reserves.
⌬ Transferrin: A protein that transports iron throughout the body.
⌬ Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC): Assesses the blood's ability to bind and transport iron.
⌬ Transferrin Saturation: Reflects the percentage of transferrin that is bound with iron.
This test is essential for diagnosing conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis, and other iron-related disorders, supporting optimal energy levels, immune function, and overall health. The advanced, highly accurate testing methods ensure precise results, empowering you to make informed decisions about your health.
The test result includes detailed analysis of your hormonal health markers. However, interpretations and personalized recommendations are not included. For guidance on understanding your results, and how to implement the findings, we recommend scheduling a Functional Testing | Result Review consultation.
The standard turnaround time for this test is 1-2 business days.
For the best results, the Comprehensive Iron Panel requires a simple blood draw that should be done in the morning after fasting overnight. Make sure you're well-hydrated beforehand, as this helps ensure a smoother blood draw and more accurate results. It's recommended to avoid eating or drinking anything except water for at least 8-12 hours prior to the test to get the most reliable thyroid readings. This preparation helps to minimize any potential interference with the test and provides you with the clearest insight into your thyroid health.
