Transferrin Panel is a diagnostic blood test that measures the level of transferrin, a protein produced by the liver. The protein is responsible for transporting iron throughout the body. The test is used to diagnose anaemia and iron overload conditions such as hemochromatosis. It can also be used to monitor individuals with such conditions.
Symptoms
The symptoms of anaemia and iron overload conditions vary and may include:
1. Anaemia
- Fatigue
- Pale skin
- Shortness of breath
- Irregular heartbeat
- Weakness
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Cold hands and feet
- Craving for ice or dirt
2. Iron overload conditions
- Joint pain
- Abdominal pain
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Loss of sex drive
- Impotence in men
- Irregular periods in women
- Hair loss
- Enlarged liver or spleen
Test Procedure
The transferrin test requires a blood sample. A healthcare professional will insert a needle into a vein, usually in the arm, to collect the blood sample. The area will be cleaned with alcohol or another antiseptic before the needle is inserted.
The blood sample collected from the patient is sent to the laboratory for analysis. The transferrin test measures the amount of transferrin in the serum or plasma. The results are usually available within 48 hours.
Treatment
Treatment for anaemia depends on the underlying cause, but it may include iron supplements or other medications. For individuals with iron overload conditions, treatment may include phlebotomy (removal of blood) to reduce the iron level in the body. Individuals who receive a positive diagnosis should consult a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
