How it Works
Diagnosing Iron Deficiency
If you are having some of the symptoms below, we recommend that you get a blood test. Iron deficiency can cause a variety of symptoms that overlap with other conditions, so it’s important to get evaluated and diagnosed by a medical professional.
- Fatigue and restlessness
- Chronic headaches
- Dizziness
- Brittle nails
- Unusual cravings
- Hair loss
- Menstrual irregularities / Heavy periods
- Restless leg syndrome
- Pale or yellow skin
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Weakness
- Cold hands & feet
- Jaundice
- Lethargy
Iron deficiency can be diagnosed with blood tests that measure:
- Ferritin: A blood protein that contains iron and can help your doctor understand how much iron your body stores.
- Hemoglobin (HB): A blood protein that helps transport oxygen throughout your body.
- Complete blood count (CBC): A panel that measures your current levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, and hematocrit. A low blood count can indicate iron deficiency anemia.
Iron IV treatments vs oral supplements
Research supports that iron IV treatments are superior to oral treatment options. Oral iron supplements are convenient to take and can be obtained from most pharmacies. However, they are often harsh on the stomach and take time to work since they must first pass through your digestive system. IVs circumvent both of these issues.
- First, they are administered directly into your bloodstream, circumventing the potential stomach upset of oral iron pills.
- Second, since your IV bypasses the digestive system, your body can replenish iron stores faster. This means that not only can you feel the benefits of treatment more quickly, IVs also shorten the course of treating conditions such as anemia.
