This panel includes serum iron (measures circulating iron), ferritin (indicates iron stores), and transferrin saturation (shows how much iron is bound to transferrin). It may also assess total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) for a full picture.
Sample collection: A small blood sample is taken (usually serum tube) by a finger-prick kit at home or in one of our UK clinics. Our kit includes everything needed; simply return the sample in the pre-paid envelope. Results include a personalised doctor’s interpretation.
Age restriction: Adults 18+ only (guardian consent required for minors).
The Iron Status Panel is a blood test that evaluates your body’s iron levels and storage to diagnose conditions like iron deficiency anemia or iron overload. It helps identify issues related to growth, energy, and oxygen transport. Your doctor may order this panel for symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, or pale skin. The test catches imbalances early. Swift Blood Tests processes samples rapidly, with results and a doctor’s report typically within a few days.
Measures the amount of iron in your blood.
Reflects stored iron in cells; low levels indicate deficiency.
Percentage of transferrin bound to iron; helps diagnose deficiency or overload.
Assesses blood's capacity to bind iron.
A venous blood sample is required (collected in a serum tube). Fasting for 8-12 hours may be recommended for accurate results, as food can affect iron levels. Send samples via the next-day laboratory service.
Low ferritin and saturation suggest deficiency.
High saturation may indicate hemochromatosis.
Such as kidney issues or inflammation affecting iron.
For iron supplements or blood loss management. The panel provides a comprehensive view of iron metabolism.
Fatigue, dizziness, headaches, or cold hands.
Heavy periods, vegetarian diet, pregnancy, or gastrointestinal bleeding.
Rheumatoid arthritis or cancer affecting iron. For example, persistent tiredness might reveal low ferritin. Your doctor will interpret and suggest follow-ups.

“Great service. I’m not the best with needles, however, Jo made me feel comfortable and at ease which made the whole process much more tolerable. 5 stars from me.
