Also known as: Serum Ferritin Test, Iron Deficiency Test, TIBC Test, Iron Profile
Iron Studies Test Normal Range (India)
Reference ranges from NABL-certified labs. Actual interpretation must be done by a qualified doctor.
| Parameter | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Serum Iron | 65 – 175 µg/dL | 50 – 170 µg/dL |
| TIBC | 250 – 370 µg/dL | 250 – 370 µg/dL |
| Transferrin Saturation | 20 – 50% | 15 – 50% |
| Serum Ferritin | 12 – 300 ng/mL | 12 – 150 ng/mL |
When Should You Get a Iron Studies Test Done?
- Anaemia detected on a CBC test — to find out if it is iron-deficiency anaemia
- Persistent fatigue and weakness that does not improve with rest
- Pale skin, pale gums, pale inside of lower eyelid
- Women with heavy menstrual periods — the most common cause of iron deficiency in India
- Vegetarians and vegans — plant-based iron (non-haeme) is absorbed far less efficiently
- Pregnancy — iron requirements nearly double during pregnancy
- Children with poor growth or developmental delays
- Hair fall with fatigue — ferritin below 30 ng/mL can cause hair loss even without anaemia
About Iron Studies Test in Jaipur
Iron is essential for making haemoglobin — the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. When iron stores are depleted, haemoglobin production falls and less oxygen reaches your muscles and brain. The result is a type of anaemia that causes debilitating fatigue, breathlessness on exertion, and reduced concentration.
India has the world's highest burden of iron deficiency anaemia, and women in Rajasthan are among the most affected. National Family Health Survey data consistently shows that over 50% of women of reproductive age in Rajasthan have anaemia. Heavy menstrual periods (the most common cause in women), a low-meat diet, and poor iron absorption from traditional meals (the oxalates in spinach and phytates in whole grains inhibit iron absorption) all contribute.
A standard CBC test tells you if you are anaemic (low haemoglobin) but not why. The Iron Studies Panel goes deeper — Serum Ferritin, the most important number, reflects your iron storage. Ferritin below 12 ng/mL confirms iron deficiency. Importantly, ferritin can also be falsely normal or high in inflammation (it is an acute phase reactant), which is why looking at all five parameters together gives your doctor a complete picture.
