What is iron?
Iron is an essential mineral found in the blood that helps transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. It plays a crucial role in the formation of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells.
Why should you have iron tested?
An iron test can be useful if you have symptoms of iron deficiency or iron overload, such as fatigue, paleness, shortness of breath, or palpitations. It is also helpful for monitoring the effectiveness of iron supplements or determining the cause of certain types of anemia.
What does it indicate?
The iron level in your urine provides insight into your body's iron balance. This can indicate various health conditions, such as iron deficiency anemia or hemochromatosis (iron overload).
What does a high iron level mean?
A high iron level may indicate possible conditions such as hemochromatosis, where the body absorbs and stores too much iron. This can lead to damage to organs such as the liver, heart, and pancreas.
What does a low iron level mean?
A low iron level may indicate iron deficiency anemia, the most common form of anemia. Symptoms can include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath. A low level may also indicate poor iron absorption or chronic blood loss.
