Iron, Serum Test

Serum iron tests are usually ordered as part of a screening program to diagnose diseases before they become serious. The iron studies may help find out why you are anemic, diagnose some forms of autoimmune diseases or cancer and detect a problem such as hemochromatosis (a genetic disease that causes a dangerous buildup of iron in the body).

Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
