An iron profile test is a group of blood tests that measure the levels of various forms of iron in the body.
To evaluate a person's iron status and check for conditions such as iron deficiency anaemia, hemochromatosis (too much iron in the body), and other disorders of iron metabolism.
The test involves a simple blood draw, which is then analyzed in a laboratory.
The test can vary depending on the location and the specific tests that are included in the iron profile. It usually costs around Rs 500 to Rs 900 in India.
