Iron Metabolism Profile

LABOKLIN Service ID: 1082

• There are two types of iron deficiency - an absolute iron deficiency (e.g. due to chronic blood loss) and a functional iron deficiency (e.g. as a result of inflammatory, infectious or neoplastic processes). Differentiating between these two forms is not always easy.
• The iron metabolism profile contains not only total serum iron but also other additional parameters that help with the diagnosis.
