Medical disclaimer
Test details are for general information only and not a substitute for medical advice. Reference ranges vary between labs. Always discuss results with a registered medical practitioner before starting, stopping or changing any treatment.
What this test measures
The Iron reports the following parameters. These are this lab’s own reference ranges: the same ones your result is reported against, not a generic table. Adult values are shown; where a range differs by age, the range for your age is applied automatically when the result is released. Always read results with your doctor.
| Parameter | Reference range | Unit | Method | LOINC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Serum Iron | M: 65 – 175 · F: 50 – 170 | µg/dL | Photometry (Ferene / FerroZine colorimetric method) | 2498-4 |
Understanding your results
For the parameter below, here is what a value outside the reference range may be associated with. These are general, textbook associations: a result outside the range is not a diagnosis on its own.
These markers count and measure the cells carried in your blood — the red cells that move oxygen, the white cells that fight infection, and the platelets that help you clot.
| Parameter | If higher than range | If lower than range |
|---|---|---|
| Serum Iron | A high serum iron may be seen with iron overload or supplements and is interpreted alongside ferritin and TIBC. | A low serum iron may point to iron deficiency and is interpreted alongside ferritin and TIBC. |
Reference ranges vary by laboratory, age, sex and method, and results must be interpreted together and in the context of your health. This information is educational and is not a diagnosis or medical advice, always discuss your report with your doctor.
