Iron Status Profile – Anaemia Blood Test in London
The Iron Status Profile (SP21) is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess iron levels, iron storage, and iron transport throughout the body. By measuring key markers including iron, ferritin, transferrin, transferrin saturation, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), and Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC), this profile provides a detailed evaluation of iron metabolism and helps identify iron deficiency, iron overload, and related conditions such as anaemia. Ideal for individuals experiencing fatigue, weakness, hair loss, or suspected iron imbalance, this test is available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 4 hours.
Iron Status Profile
This profile evaluates the body’s iron levels and how well iron is transported and stored. Iron and ferritin indicate current iron levels and storage, while transferrin and transferrin saturation show how effectively iron is carried in the blood. TIBC and UIBC provide additional critical information about iron availability.

What Is Included?
This comprehensive profile provides a multi-dimensional view of your iron metabolism, transport, and overall storage capacity.
Core Iron Markers
Evaluates the total amount of circulating iron and the biological reserves kept safely in your body tissues.
Iron identifies current circulating levels, while Ferritin acts as your primary “savings account” for nutritional reserves.
Transport Proteins
Assesses how effectively iron is being moved through your bloodstream to the cells that need it.
Transferrin is the main transport protein. Saturation reveals exactly what percentage of these proteins are actively carrying iron.
Binding Capacities
Measures the blood’s total capacity and remaining reserve potential to bind and transport vital minerals.
High TIBC often indicates your body is seeking more iron. UIBC measures the reserve capacity not currently in use.
How To Read Your Laboratory Results
Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Important: A single out-of-range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your medical history and clinical examination.
Results Timeline: Profile metrics are typically available within just 4 hours. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.
