About this treatment
Ferritin testing evaluates the concentration of ferritin, the primary iron‑storage protein, from a single venous blood draw. Ferritin levels may be associated with iron deficiency, anemia, or excess iron conditions, providing useful information for managing energy levels and overall health. The service costs £96, plus a £50 phlebotomy charge for the collection appointment. After analysis, you receive a detailed report that includes a brief interpretation of the result. This test is appropriate for people experiencing fatigue, those with dietary restrictions, or anyone monitoring iron status. No fasting is required, and a professional phlebotomist collects the sample.
