Use:
The Comprehensive Iron Profile is used to measure the amount of iron in your body as well as your body’s ability to use the iron. This profile can help you find out if you are anemic, can assist in diagnosing some autoimmune disease or cancers and can detect hemochromatosis, which is a genetic disease that causes iron building in the body.
Recommended For:
Those with a family history of hemochromatosis; Those experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, upper right abdominal pain, impotence or loss of sex drive, and lack of menstruation.
Special Notes:
Fasting for 12 hours prior to iron testing is required; Also, women who are having their menstrual period may have decreased iron so it is recommended to test before or after your period.
