Went in as walk-in and I was 1st one. Reception was nice and friendly. With in minutes, I was in exam room and RN walked in right after my blood pressure and temp. were taken. She had already tested urine specimen which confirmed my suspicion of UTI. RN went over several new things for me to try. Called in prescription and I was on my way to better health. It was thoroughly a good and professional experience. The staff was very professional and, " I would recommend Ascension St. Thomas Urgent Care to any one who wants the best care from those who do care!

About Iron Testing

Iron Testing is a diagnostic test that measures the levels of iron in the blood. Iron is an essential mineral required for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Testing for iron levels helps assess iron deficiency or iron overload, both of which can have significant health implications.

Who Should Get Tested

Residents of Slayden, Tennessee, with symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, dizziness, and shortness of breath may benefit from Iron Testing. Individuals with certain risk factors, such as chronic blood loss, poor dietary iron intake, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, may also require testing.

Test Methods for Iron

Iron Testing typically involves measuring various components in the blood, including:

  1. Serum Iron: This measures the amount of iron circulating in the blood.
  2. Transferrin and Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC): These tests assess the body's capacity to bind and transport iron.
  3. Ferritin: This test measures ferritin, a protein that stores iron in cells and reflects iron levels in the body.

Interpreting the Results

The interpretation of Iron Testing results involves analyzing the levels of iron, transferrin, TIBC, and ferritin. Abnormalities in these values may indicate iron deficiency anemia or iron overload conditions.

Importance of Iron Testing

Iron Testing is important for:

  • Diagnosing iron deficiency anemia
  • Evaluating iron metabolism and storage in the body
  • Assessing the response to iron supplementation or treatment

Following the Test

After Iron Testing, healthcare providers discuss the results with individuals and recommend appropriate interventions based on the test findings. Treatment options may include iron supplementation, dietary changes, and addressing the underlying cause of iron imbalance.
