Ferritin
Rapid Self-Test

Description

The Ferritin Test can help you find out whether your symptoms could be due to an iron deficiency, by measuring a protein called ferritin in your blood.

WHEN TO DO THE TEST?

Iron deficiency anemia mostly affects younger women and symptoms can include headaches, tiredness, lack of energy, palpitations, and hair loss. Measurement of a protein called ferritin in the blood, is a simple and more reliable indicator of iron deficiency anaemia compared to a full blood count.

Knowing that you have a low iron level can help you seek advice from your pharmacist and doctor to help you reduce the risks of long-term diseases associated with iron deficiency anaemia.

Not suitable if you have haemochromatosis.

HOW TO PERFORM THE TEST?

1. Prick the fingertip and collect the blood using the dropper provided in the kit.
2. Transfer 2 drops of blood in the well of the cassette.
3. Then add 1 drop of buffer in the same well and start the timer.

Read the results within 5 minutes.
