The Iron Deficiency Test is a blood test that measures the level of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron and releases it when your body needs it. This test is used to assess your body's iron stores and help diagnose iron deficiency anaemia or other conditions related to abnormal iron levels.
