Haematinics Check by i-Screen

Blood test to measure iron, vitamin B12, and folate levels.

Additional Information

Haematinics are essential nutrients for blood cell formation. Deficiencies in iron, vitamin B12, or folate can lead to anaemia, causing symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness, and heart palpitations. This test helps identify deficiencies and allows for timely intervention to improve blood health and overall well-being. It measures key indicators of blood health, providing a comprehensive assessment of your haematinic status. Early detection of deficiencies can prevent serious health complications.

Biomarkers Tested (6)

Iron (µg/dL)

Iron (Fe) is essential for hemoglobin production and oxygen transport. Low levels can lead to anemia, while high levels may indicate iron overload disorders.

Transferrin (mg/dL)

Transferrin is a protein that binds and transports iron in the blood. Abnormal levels can indicate iron metabolism disorders.

Transferrin saturation (%)

Transferrin saturation measures the percentage of transferrin bound with iron, indicating iron status. Abnormal levels can indicate iron deficiency or overload.

Ferritin (ng/mL)

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. Low levels can indicate iron deficiency, while high levels may suggest iron overload or inflammation.

Active Vitamin B12 (pmol/L)

Active vitamin B12 is the biologically active form of vitamin B12 that is essential for many physiological processes in the body, including the production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and nerve function.

Folate (ng/mL)

Vitamin B9; role in DNA creation and red blood cell production.
