Iron Deficiency Test

Iron plays a pivotal role in various physiological processes, with its primary function being the formation of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells. This test is particularly important as iron deficiency can lead to anemia.

Individuals who should consider this test include those experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, and cold extremities. Additionally, individuals with dietary restrictions, such as vegetarians or vegans who may have reduced iron intake, could benefit from monitoring their iron levels.
