What the test measures
Our Iron Status Check measures ferritin (your iron stores), serum iron, transferrin, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and transferrin saturation. Ferritin is usually the first marker to fall when iron runs low, often long before anaemia shows on a blood count.
Ferritin can also rise with inflammation, infection, alcohol or liver problems, which is why it is best read alongside transferrin saturation rather than on its own.
The price includes the blood draw at our clinic, analysis at the Randox accredited laboratory (ISO/IEC 15189, UKAS Lab ID 9329) and a practitioner review of your result. A GP feedback report is available on request, and no GP referral is needed.
Who it is for
- You feel tired, breathless or look pale
- You have heavy periods or are planning a pregnancy
- You eat a plant-based diet
- You run, cycle or train for endurance events
- You give blood regularly
- You have a family history of haemochromatosis (iron overload)
What your result means
A ferritin below 30 micrograms per litre is generally taken to confirm iron deficiency. A high ferritin together with a high transferrin saturation can point towards iron overload. Your practitioner explains your results in the context of your symptoms and diet, and whether a recheck or a conversation with your GP makes sense.
Please do not start iron supplements without testing first, as too much iron can be harmful.
Preparing for your test
A morning appointment is best. No fasting is needed for ferritin. If you take an iron supplement, tell us when you book, as we may ask you to pause it for 24 hours before your test.

Questions
How much is an iron blood test?
Ferritin on its own costs £49 and our Iron Status Check, which measures five iron markers, costs £59, including the blood draw, Randox laboratory analysis and a practitioner review.
What is the difference between iron and ferritin?
Ferritin shows how much iron you have stored, while serum iron and transferrin saturation show how much is circulating in your blood right now. Together they give a reliable picture.
Do I need to fast for an iron test?
No fasting is needed for ferritin. A morning appointment is best because serum iron varies through the day.
Can you send my results to my GP?
Yes. A GP feedback report is available on request for every test. Let us know when you book or at your appointment and we will prepare a report you can share with your GP.
