Overview Information

Iron is a mineral. Most of the iron in the body is found in the hemoglobin of red blood cells and the myoglobin of muscle cells. Iron is needed for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide and has other vital bodily roles. Iron is most commonly used to prevent and treat anemia caused by low iron levels. It is also used for anemia caused by abnormally heavy bleeding during menstrual periods (menorrhagia) and pregnancy.
 

How does it work?

Iron helps red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to cells all over the body. Iron also plays a role in many vital functions in the body.

Iron Deficiency Directory

Iron helps your body get oxygen through the bloodstream. Fewer red blood cells can be made without iron, which causes anemia. Iron levels can get too low because of bleeding, heavy menstruation, or other problems, such as ulcers. It can also be caused by simply not getting enough iron through your diet.

How is Iron Deficiency Diagnosed?

Iron deficiency is a condition that can mimic other health issues, making it critical to get an accurate diagnosis. If you're experiencing potential symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, or hair loss, consulting a healthcare professional is imperative.

To determine if iron deficiency is the underlying issue, a series of blood tests are typically conducted:

1. Ferritin Test

• Function: Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body. Measuring ferritin levels helps doctors assess how much iron your body has stored.
• Indication: Low ferritin levels often suggest depleted iron reserves.

2. Hemoglobin Test

• Purpose: Hemoglobin is integral for oxygen transport in the bloodstream. Checking its levels can provide insight into your body's ability to carry oxygen.
• Significance: Reduced hemoglobin can be a strong indicator of iron deficiency anemia.

3. Complete Blood Count (CBC)

• Components: This comprehensive test evaluates several factors, including red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin, platelets, and hematocrit levels.
• Utility: A CBC helps identify anemia by reflecting low red blood cell numbers or abnormal size and shape of these cells.

Common Symptoms Leading to Diagnosis

Before these tests are administered, being aware of the symptoms that typically signal an iron deficiency can be helpful:

• Persistent tiredness or restlessness
• Severe headaches
• Unusual cravings or brittle nails
• Shortness of breath and chest pain
• Changes in skin color, such as paleness or yellowness

These signs, when persistent, justify the need for a medical evaluation. The timely execution of these tests ensures that any underlying iron deficiency can be effectively managed with proper treatment.
