Buy SELFCheck Iron Level Test Online in the UK
A quick and accurate 10 minute finger prick blood spot test to determine if you have iron deficient anaemia.
Iron deficiency anaemia is a widespread, major, and global public health issue. Women of childbearing age and pregnant women are especially vulnerable. Headaches, weariness, a lack of energy, palpitations, and hair loss are all common symptoms of iron deficiency.
When compared to a full blood count, measuring certain biomarkers in the blood, such as ferritin, is a simpler and more reliable diagnostic of iron deficiency anaemia. Knowing you have low iron levels can help you seek guidance from your chemist and doctor to lower your risk of long-term problems connected with iron deficiency anaemia.
The SELFCheck Iron Level Test has an overall agreement of at least 98% (95% Confidence Interval 93-100%) when compared to reference laboratory procedures. Despite the fact that this test is very trustworthy, medical professionals are aware that any medical tests, whether performed in a laboratory or at home, may produce a tiny proportion of false positive or false negative findings.
IMPORTANT: If you have haemochromatosis, this test is unsuitable for you.
