Iron Status

7

  • Ferritin

    Ferritin is the storage protein for iron in the body - the value shows how well the body's iron stores are filled.

  • Transferrin Saturation

    Transferrin is a transport protein that transports iron in the blood to the body's cells - the value shows how balanced the iron supply in the body is and how high the transport requirement is.

  • White Blood Cells

    White blood cells (leukocytes) are the cells of the immune system - they help the body to fight infections and to recognise and eliminate foreign substances.

  • Hematocrit

    The Hematocrit measures the relative proportion of all blood cells in the blood.

  • MCV

    The mean cell volume (MCV) provides information on the average size of the red blood cells.

  • MCH

    The mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) is the average concentration of hemoglobin contained in a single red blood cell.

  • Platelets

    Platelets (thrombocytes) are small cell fragments in the blood that stop bleeding in the event of injury and ensure the formation of blood clots.
