The SELFCHECK Iron Deficiency Test can help you find out whether your symptoms could be due to an iron deficiency, by measuring a protein called ferritin in your blood. The test has more than 98% agreement with laboratory tests.
The SELFCHECK Iron Deficiency Test is easy to use, requiring a small finger prick blood sample to perform the test and a visual result is available in less than 10 minutes.
Iron deficiency anemia mostly affects younger women and symptoms can include headaches, tiredness, lack of energy, palpitations, and hair loss. Measurement of a protein called ferritin in the blood, is a simple and more reliable indicator of iron deficiency anaemia compared to a full blood count.
Knowing that you have a low iron level can help you seek advice from your pharmacist and doctor to help you reduce the risks of long-term diseases associated with iron deficiency anaemia.
Not suitable if you have haemochromatosis.
Contains 1 test.
