What's included
3 deliverables in this treatment
- Venous blood draw
- Laboratory analysis of iron and TIBC
- Electronic results report
The Iron (TIBC included) test measures serum iron and total iron‑binding capacity (TIBC) from a venous blood sample, providing insight into iron status that may be associated with anemia or overload. It includes two biomarkers, costs £38 plus a £50 phlebotomy fee, and offers a concise view of iron metabolism.
About this treatment
The Iron (TIBC included) panel assesses two critical aspects of iron metabolism using a venous blood draw: serum iron concentration and total iron‑binding capacity (TIBC). By measuring these two markers, the test may support evaluation of iron deficiency or excess, which can be associated with fatigue, immune function, and overall health. The service includes a £50 phlebotomy visit, laboratory processing of both biomarkers, and an electronic results report typically returned within the laboratory’s standard turnaround period. No fasting is required. This test is suited for adults who suspect iron‑related issues and want a focused assessment of their iron status.

Adults evaluating iron deficiency or overload
Biomarkers tested
2A mineral essential for oxygen transport (in hemoglobin), energy production, and immune function. Serum iron measures the amount circulating in blood, but ferritin and TIBC provide a more complete picture of iron status.
