Iron Panel Panel

Iron is a double-edged sword: too little causes fatigue, brain fog, and weakness, while too much drives inflammation and oxidative stress. Men and post-menopausal women often accumulate excess iron since they don't lose it through menstruation, which can silently damage organs over decades. For regular blood donors, this panel helps ensure donation isn't depleting your stores too quickly. Includes ferritin (your iron savings account), serum iron, and TIBC to see the full picture of how your body stores and transports iron.
