Health Check Iron Deficiency gives you insight into your iron levels, your iron stores and at the same time your blood status. The test can give you an indication of why you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue and lack of energy.

Iron deficiency is common and affects mainly more women and children than men. Iron is a mineral that the body absorbs through food that is used to form hemoglobin. With low levels of iron, it becomes more difficult for the body to produce hemoglobin (HB), which in turn transports oxygen in the body. Other symptoms of iron deficiency are also characterized by dizziness, palpitations, headaches or shortness of breath when exercising.

The following markers are included in the Iron Deficiency health check
The test includes a broad analysis of the body's iron status, blood values, and oxygen transport capacity. By combining these markers, you get a clear picture of whether you have iron deficiency, iron excess or a blood count that indicates anemia.
- Ferritin – shows the body's stored iron and is the most reliable marker for iron deficiency.
- Iron (Fe) – measures the amount of iron in the blood at the time of sampling.
- Transferrin – transport protein for iron; elevated levels often indicate deficiency.
- Hemoglobin (Hb) – measures the blood's ability to transport oxygen.
- Hematocrit (EC) – indicates the percentage of blood that is made up of red blood cells.
- Erythrocyte Count (EC) – the number of red blood cells in the blood.
- MCV & MCH – provides information about red blood cell size and hemoglobin content.
- RDW-CV – shows the variation in red blood cell size; may be elevated in iron deficiency.
- Platelets (TPK) – can be affected in iron deficiency or inflammation.
- Leukocytes (LPK) – measures white blood cells and can indicate ongoing infection or inflammation.
All your test results are reviewed by a licensed physician who provides a personal medical opinion with an interpretation of your values. The opinion helps you understand how the results are related and whether further measures or follow-up are needed.
