Iron Studies (Serum Iron, TIBC, Ferritin) in Dubai
Measures serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and ferritin to evaluate iron deficiency or overload. Fasting is required. Sample type: blood. Zavis has no published price for the Iron Panel test. The services that publish prices list serum iron, TIBC and ferritin as separate tests, or sell an iron panel without ferritin, so Zavis shows no price for this panel. Ask the lab for its price before you book.
