How it works
The Comprehensive Iron Status Test is a laboratory test with at-home capillary blood collection. You receive a digital result once the analysis is complete.
What is measured
The laboratory measures Ferritin and Transferrin and reports transferrin saturation (calculated) based on the measured values.
Why this test may be relevant
The laboratory values can provide a factual basis for further assessment and follow-up. They must be interpreted in context and do not replace a medical evaluation.
Before collecting the sample
Follow the instructions supplied with the collection kit. Any product-specific preparation is stated there.
Wash and warm your hands as instructed. Prick a fingertip and collect the capillary blood in the supplied tube. Label and pack the sample according to the instructions; do not dab the blood onto a sample card.
When will I receive the result?
The result is delivered digitally after the laboratory has received and analysed the sample. Transport time and the scope of the analysis affect the total turnaround time.
Important information about the result
The result provides information about the markers analysed and does not replace medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment. Contact a healthcare professional if your results are outside the reference range, if you have clear or persistent symptoms, or if you are concerned.
