Iron is an essential component of the body which makes up red blood cells to transport oxygen all around the body. Low iron can cause anaemia, a common issue causing a list of problems starting with fatigue, weakness and coldness which can then progress to more serious conditions. We also test for how well the body can absorb iron which may be reduced in conditions affecting the liver.
