Get insights into your iron levels with our Ferritin Blood Test. 

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron, so measuring ferritin levels can indicate how much iron your body has stored. This test is particularly helpful in diagnosing iron-deficiency anemia, a common condition caused by low iron levels. 

Why choose this test?

Are you experiencing symptoms of fatigue, weakness, or shortness of breath? Do you have a history of iron-deficiency anemia or suspect that you may have low iron levels? Our Ferritin Blood Test is a simple and convenient way to get a clear picture of your iron status. By measuring your ferritin levels, this test can help identify potential iron deficiency and provide insights into how to improve your iron levels and overall health.

This test is suitable for a finger prick sample at home, with our partner clinics at Superdrug across the UK. Alternatively, you can choose to have one of our nurses or your own healthcare professional take your venous sample in the comfort of your own home. Results are normally available within 2 working days from receipt of your sample at our laboratory and delivered directly to you through our secure online patient portal.

What's included in this test?

Ferritin

Ferritin is a protein that acts as a storage unit for iron in the body, particularly in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Measuring ferritin levels in the blood is a useful way to assess the amount of iron stored in the body, as it reflects the body's overall iron status. Low ferritin levels may indicate iron deficiency, while high ferritin levels may indicate excess iron storage, which can be a sign of certain medical conditions.

Sampling special instructions

Prepare for your Ferritin Blood Test by following the instructions within your test kit. Do not take biotin supplements for two days before this test, discuss this with your doctor if it is prescribed.
