Ferritin is a protein that stores and releases iron as your body needs it. A ferritin blood test measures the amount of stored iron, providing a valuable insight into your iron levels and overall health. Iron is essential for vital functions such as red blood cell production, thyroid health, immune response, and energy metabolism.
At Health Screening Clinic, we offer a convenient and discreet private ferritin blood test in London, helping you monitor your iron stores and address any imbalances promptly. This test is also included in our Full Body MOT, giving you a comprehensive overview of your health.
A ferritin blood test helps assess whether your body has the right amount of iron to function properly. Iron plays a key role in producing healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout your body. Low or high iron levels can lead to serious health issues if left unchecked.
This test can help with:
Your doctor might recommend a ferritin test if you experience symptoms of iron deficiency or iron overload.
If other tests, such as a low haemoglobin result, suggest iron imbalance, a ferritin blood test may be advised for further evaluation.
No special preparation is required. However, please inform your healthcare provider about any supplements or medications you are taking, as they could influence your iron leve
A small blood sample will be drawn from a vein in your arm. The procedure is quick and generally painless, though you might feel a slight prick or tingling sensation.
Your sample will be analysed in our accredited laboratory. Results are usually available within a few days. A follow-up consultation will help you understand your results and discuss any necessary next steps.
If you are concerned about your iron levels or have been experiencing related symptoms, book a private ferritin blood test at Health Screening Clinic. Our expert team will ensure a smooth and confidential testing process with clear, actionable results.
