What are serum iron studies?

Serum iron studies are blood tests that:

measure the amount of iron in your blood

measure your body's ability to use iron.

There are many different types of iron studies. The 3 most common tests are discussed here:

serum iron

total iron binding capacity

ferritin.

These are the tests usually used to look for problems with how your body uses iron.

i have anemia and i eat plaster and paper and detergent it just taste so good but i cried all the time at first bc i thought ii was crazy

[tickyul]

People no longer eat organ meats for the most part, best source of iron bar none. That plant based iron cannot even compare. Oh, but I forgot, red meat is evil. No wonder anemia is so common.

[doucelait1]

This is great info and he's very informative. I so need this.

[Drhimanshupandey]

thanks

[rmbfirst1]

can an anemic give a birth? please i need the answer.

[Drhimanshupandey]

yes she can but first we have to know what kind of anemia she has. there are different type, and solution according to type . i am also a doctor

[rmbfirst1]

i don''t know, she''s a friend of mine. she said that it was a glood disorder(sickle cell). and she loose blood after 2 or 3 month, and when she lose it she goes to the hospital. that''s all i know about her.

[Drhimanshupandey]

ok it means defect in blood cell , yes it is tough situation , well keep consulting physician for new method for treatment , as bone marrow trans plant is painful , and work in paint or chemical factory ,also cause anemia

[tickyul]

@Drhimanshupandey Yep, I think I damaged my bone marrow when working around paint.......toulene and zylene....nasty stuff.

[psid8]

i eat mud all the time

[Drhimanshupandey]

if you eat mud and get satisfaction , so 2 reason first psychological . and second important is body mineral deficiency , .so go ask doctor for gud suppliment

[SuperMetalAngel]

Very informative...thank's doc! :)

[Gtrplyr1]

I have iron deficiency currently. It has to do with the fact i don't eat red meat and I have also been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. At this very moment I feel so lazy, not depressed, but i feel anti social, as it becomes to much energy for me to socialize. I have been feeling like crap for about 2 months now :(

[Drhimanshupandey]

it is also important when you are diagnosed and present situation ,consult an dietician for food schedule , and ask for doctor about any test by saying your exta abnormalitiy related to digestion

[Gtrplyr1]

Thanks, I have mentioned to my psychiatrist that I am suffering from anxiety. It's weird, i have never felt antisocial before, except for when i am sleep deprived from overworking. I guess being anemic is similar?

[Drhimanshupandey]

ok but main cause is physical also , take vitamin and mineral tab or syrup also . mental problem is minor cause . so just  consult a physician for vitamin and mineral uptake. be easy and good day

[Gtrplyr1]

Thanks, will do, so what do i owe you? :)

Happy New Year.

[Drhimanshupandey]

happy new year to you also and keep smiling , this world need your smile . bye

[jazzeia123]

good job on covering the s/s..i had pica (eating 5-10 heads of luttuce a day), and the irritation around the mouth. a dermatologist figured it out after eczema started flaring up as never before.

[Drhimanshupandey]

if you also like to eat pica or mud meet doctor ,as it may be psychological and more important mineral deficiency in body

[zmychemrm]

my parents don't think i'm anemic. i'm really pale which is weird because my whole family is indian and everyone is pretty tan. i'm really pale. i have badly chapped lips all the time. i don't eat meat but i eat chicken. i don't drink a lot of water but i drink tons of orange juice and other fruit juices. i'm really tired and weak all the time, but i'm never hungry and i'm really skinny. could this mean i'm anemic?

[jazzeia123]

get your blood tested. it is that simple.

[mandykal]

what is the difference between: Ferrous Sulfate & Ferrous Gluconate?

Lastely, what is a good method of remembering the test levels such as TIBC, ferritin, serum iron>? No matter how many times I read normal values, I have a difficult time remembering...

[mrssmithjr]

I have iron deficiency very often,and it sucks!

It feels like I want to just lay down and die,I feel so bad from being anemic.

[Drhimanshupandey]

just go to good pathology and check for anemia as there is many different type of anemia . btwi am also a doctor

[mrssmithjr]

Thanks for the advice !

[JustmeKasie]

i hate being so damn pale... im azn for god's sake im sopposed to be yellow.. n im pale!

[Ziified13]

[zstee18]

[kooodeal]

Eat spinach pizza with glass of wine.

[adilhasnain]

I have noticed two thing beig said here firstly people are not improving with iron medication a trick is take this with lemon or lime or any other citric fruit.You can ask your doctor about this.This is as the citric acid helps convert the iron into Fe3+ the ferric ion easier which is reequired by the body.2ndly blood transfusion is one of the leadig cause of high iron in thee blood as whe the blood gets brokeen down in the liver it releases iron and this maycause really high levels

[ashantilongislant]

thank you for this vid. i havnt been taking my iron pills cause i heard its made from blood but my doc says thats a lie. i feel so week and crave for chalk.

i just took one today but i dont feel better as yet. i eat only veggies but i cant digest the iron very well.

i started with only 1 but ill start 2 next week and 3 the other week.

iron difficiency makes me damn lazy and sleepy.

[JustmeKasie]

o.o iron pills r not made from blood lols... but yea i havnt been taking my iron pills lately but im starting to take them again since i heard u could take them w/ sunny d LMAO hey its 100% vitamin c :)

[Booliocious]

is it kinda like being a vampire? cold, pale loss of blood, weakening, tired, need of blood or your sik

[coolsteven2]

no...im not a vampire...

[musicfreak12555]

i dont have any iron left in my body and ive tried everything and now the doctor says i might have to get a blood transfusion so i at least get some iron my body doesnt absorb iron so no matter i had ( 3 times the normal thing for a while to see if it would work) it didnt but my body has been used to no iron sice i was born ( dam doc i would never have known if she hadnt ordered every test she could think of) 10 vials of blood ( im 13 and a girl)

[breannalongoria]

same thing is happening to me. im a 13 girl and i already had a vlood transfusion and know they say i need to do it again

[ChappaMan17]

that's a lot of tablets, thanks for the info

[hazelblue84]

do u have anemia?..there's cure..I'm anemic as well..

[ChappaMan17]

my mom had it and she's 100% sure i have it, i'm going to get a checkup soon

[hazelblue84]

Medication really don't help much; it actually can damage ur kidney and confuse ur body and ur body will get so much depended on it that without it ur body wont function. I think eating the right food can help any anemic person dramatically. U can always find a chart of Iron food that u can follow.exercising can really help, drinking plentyyyyyyyyyy of water will help ur red blood cell.
