A measure of the body's iron stores and availability, essential for oxygen transport in red blood cells, energy production, immune function, and cognitive performance.
Iron is required to produce hemoglobin and myoglobin, proteins that carry oxygen in blood and muscle. Both deficiency (anemia) and excess (iron overload) are harmful. Comprehensive iron assessment includes serum iron, ferritin, TIBC, and transferrin saturation. Women of reproductive age, vegetarians, and endurance athletes are at highest risk for deficiency.
Patients with fatigue, shortness of breath, pale skin, cold extremities, restless legs, or those in risk groups for iron deficiency.
