IRON PROFILE

  1. Diagnosing Iron Deficiency Anemia: Iron deficiency anemia is a common condition, especially in women of childbearing age, children, and those with certain dietary restrictions. Symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and pallor can significantly impact quality of life. The iron profile helps pinpoint whether low iron is the cause.
  2. Detecting Iron Overload: Conditions like hemochromatosis cause the body to absorb too much iron, leading to organ damage. An iron profile can reveal elevated levels of iron and ferritin, prompting further investigation and management to prevent complications.
  3. Monitoring Chronic Conditions: Patients with chronic diseases such as chronic kidney disease or inflammatory disorders often need regular monitoring of their iron status to adjust treatments, including iron supplements or erythropoiesis-stimulating agents.
