About the Ferritin (Venous)
The Ferritin (Venous) is an individual blood test available at St Paul's Medical and Dental, our private practice at 5 Ave Maria Lane in the City of London, EC4M 7AQ. Your venous blood is taken by a registered nurse in an appointment of approximately 20 minutes. You can expect your results within 1 day", delivered securely to your email.
Iron is an essential mineral that the body uses to produce haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled manner. Measuring ferritin levels is considered the most reliable indicator of the body's iron stores. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide, according to the World Health Organisation. It is particularly prevalent among women of reproductive age, pregnant women, growing children, and individuals with restricted diets. Iron overload, though less common, can also be detected through blood testing.
St Paul's Medical and Dental is within walking distance of St Paul's tube station, Blackfriars, and City Thameslink. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm, making it convenient for City workers and local residents. All blood samples are processed by an accredited laboratory, and appointments can be booked online at a time that suits your schedule.
