This panel evaluates the presence, type, and potential cause of suspected anemia and iron deficiency. It includes:

• CBC (Complete Blood Count): Identifies anemia and provides red blood cell indices to classify type (e.g., microcytic, macrocytic).
• Ferritin: Measures iron storage; low levels may suggest iron deficiency.
• TIBC & Transferrin Saturation: Assesses iron transport and availability in the bloodstream.
• Serum Iron: Indicates the amount of circulating iron.
• Unsaturated Iron-Binding Capacity

This lab is recommended to be drawn fasted in the morning, but it is not required. Please ensure adequate hydration. It is not recommended to use iron supplements for (24) hours prior to the test.

A provider will approve your labs, and your Lab Requisition Form will be emailed to you within 24 business hours. Labcorp will also have this on file. Please bring a valid photo ID to your nearest Labcorp location. Results will be securely emailed as soon as they are available.
