About the Ferritin (Venous)
The Ferritin (Venous) is an individual blood test offered at South Kensington Medical and Dental, located at 20 Old Brompton Road, SW7 3DL — a two-minute walk from South Kensington tube station. A venous blood is collected by a registered nurse during an appointment lasting approximately 20 minutes. Results are typically available within 1 day" and are delivered securely via 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.
South Kensington Medical and Dental is a two-minute walk from South Kensington Underground station on the Piccadilly, District, and Circle lines. The clinic is open Monday to Thursday from 9am, with extended hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 8pm, Fridays from 8am to 5pm, and weekends from 10am to 4pm. Walk-in availability is limited, so we recommend booking your appointment online in advance. All samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory.
