Get a complete Iron Studies panel at VRX Diagno Lounge, Goregaon West measures Serum Iron, Ferritin, TIBC, and Transferrin Saturation to diagnose iron-deficiency anaemia, iron overload, and chronic-disease anaemia. Morning sample preferred. Pathologist-reviewed report on the same day. 24×7 home collection.
The Iron Studies panel evaluates the body's iron status by measuring Serum Iron, Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC), Transferrin Saturation, and Ferritin (the body's iron storage marker). It is the standard workup for iron-deficiency anaemia the most common nutritional deficiency in India and also detects iron overload in conditions like haemochromatosis or repeated transfusions. Ferritin is also a marker of inflammation. Morning sample preferred for accuracy.
Low ferritin and serum iron with high TIBC most common cause of anaemia in women and children
Low/normal serum iron with normal-to-high ferritin and low TIBC seen in chronic infection, inflammation, kidney disease
Very high ferritin with raised transferrin saturation confirms iron overload syndromes
Routinely advised in pregnancy to identify and treat iron deficiency before delivery
Low ferritin (under 50 ng/mL) is associated with restless-leg syndrome even without anaemia
Identifies and corrects anaemia before elective surgery to reduce transfusion needs
Heavy menstrual bleeding is the most common cause of iron deficiency in this group
Routine in each trimester to maintain adequate iron stores for foetal growth
Common in growth phase affects cognition and school performance
Plant iron is less bioavailable annual screening is wise
Piles, ulcers, fibroids, or any chronic blood loss
Both can improve with correction of iron deficiency
Regular donation can deplete iron stores over time
Anaemia of CKD warrants iron studies before erythropoietin therapy
| Parameter | What It Measures | Reference Range |
|---|---|---|
| Serum Iron | Iron transported in plasma | M: 65–175 µg/dL · F: 50–170 µg/dL |
| Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) | Capacity of transferrin to bind iron | 240–450 µg/dL |
| Transferrin Saturation | Iron / TIBC ratio (%) | 20–50% |
| Ferritin (M) | Iron storage protein men | 30–400 ng/mL |
| Ferritin (F) | Iron storage protein women | 13–150 ng/mL |
All four markers within range suggest adequate iron stores. Continue routine yearly screening if you have risk factors.
Low ferritin/serum iron with high TIBC = iron deficiency. High ferritin with raised saturation = iron overload. Low ferritin under 50 ng/mL is also linked to restless-leg syndrome. Your physician will correlate with symptoms and history.
Every report is reviewed by an experienced pathologist with clear interpretation and clinical comment.
If further evaluation is needed CBC, Reticulocyte Count, Stool Occult Blood, USG abdomen all available at the Goregaon West centre.

Truly appreciated the personal attention and professional approach during my aqua therapy sessions. The physiotherapist explained everything clearly. Highly recommended for anyone needing supervised pool-based rehab.
Started here after my knee surgery on my doctor's recommendation. The 1-on-1 sessions made a real difference and the team was supportive and patient throughout my recovery process. Worth every visit.
My mother has been visiting VRX Goregaon for arthritis-related sessions. The staff is patient, the centre is clean and well-maintained, and the pricing is transparent exactly what we were looking for.
Detailed initial consultation, no rushed appointments. The aqua therapy approach felt much gentler on my joints than regular gym workouts. Will continue here for the foreseeable future.
Easy to book, professional team, and a well-maintained therapy pool. I felt reassured by the close supervision throughout each session. Worth the visit if you need supervised aqua therapy in Mumbai.
Have visited multiple physio centres, but the depth of attention at VRX is genuinely different. They actually adapt the plan as you progress instead of giving everyone the same routine.
