What is an Iron Test?
An iron test measures the amount of iron in the blood. It helps diagnose conditions like anemia, iron deficiency, or iron overload.
What is Iron Report Format?
The report typically shows the total iron level, transferrin, ferritin, and transferrin saturation. It helps assess the body's iron storage and utilization.
Tests Included in Iron Report
Test | Description |
Serum Iron | Measures the amount of iron circulating in the blood. |
Ferritin | Indicates the amount of stored iron in the body. |
Transferrin | Measures the protein that transports iron in the blood. |
Transferrin Saturation | The percentage of transferrin bound with iron. |
Key Parts of an Iron Report
Key Part | Description |
Serum Iron Level | Reflects the amount of available iron in the blood. |
Ferritin Level | Indicates the iron stored in the body's cells. |
Transferrin Saturation | Shows how much iron is being transported in the blood. |
Normal Range for Iron Report
Test | Normal Range |
Serum Iron | 60-170 µg/dL |
Ferritin | 20-300 ng/mL (men), 20-150 ng/mL (women) |
Transferrin Saturation | 20-50% |
Parameters to Consider in Iron Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
Serum Iron | Low levels may indicate iron deficiency anemia. High levels may suggest iron overload or hemochromatosis. |
Ferritin | Low ferritin suggests iron deficiency, while high ferritin may indicate iron overload or inflammation. |
Transferrin Saturation | Low saturation can indicate iron deficiency, while high levels may suggest excess iron. |
Guidelines for Iron Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Test Results | Present each test's result clearly with reference ranges. |
Interpretation | Provide context on whether the result indicates iron deficiency or overload. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
Low Iron Levels | Suggests iron deficiency anemia, requiring further investigation or supplementation. |
High Iron Levels | May indicate iron overload, potentially linked to conditions like hemochromatosis. |
Iron Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
Serum Iron | Low serum iron levels suggest iron deficiency; high levels may indicate iron overload. |
Ferritin | Low ferritin suggests low iron stores, while high ferritin may indicate an excess or inflammation. |
Transferrin Saturation | Low transferrin saturation indicates iron deficiency; high saturation suggests iron overload. |
