About this test
Symptoms of fatigue or difficulty concentrating? Test your iron levels
A deficiency in iron is associated with symptoms like extreme fatigue, breathlessness, headaches, difficulty concentrating, muscle and joint pain and weight gain. This quick test is a way to check your iron levels using a blood sample and gain access to information to help you decide what to do next.
Why test
Symptoms such as fatigue, heart palpitations, pale skin and breathlessness are associated with iron deficiency. However, not everyone may experience symptoms. If left untreated, iron deficiency can become more severe and lead to anaemia.
Low iron levels may also be the first sign of a more significant health issue such as stomach ulcer or coeliac disease. By taking this test it may help you avoid serious health issues in the future by spotting a potential deficiency now.
This test has been designed by healthcare professionals to give you a good indication if your iron (ferritin) levels are normal (>30ng/ml) or abnormal (<30ng/ml). You also have the option to access doctor-led recommendations on the next steps you could take.
Intended use
This test can be used to screen for current levels of your iron using a simple home blood test. It has been produced by medical experts to give you a semi-quantitative analytical result. This means that while it will give you a good indication of whether you have normal or abnormal levels of ferritin in your blood, you'll need a secondary analytical test to confirm your actual levels.
Key facts
- Simple finger prick rapid test
- Results in five minutes, no need to send to a lab
- Tests for normal or abnormal iron levels
- Online support available to help you understand identify next steps
