Why is this panel Important?
Our Iron IV Panel provides a comprehensive look at iron status and other important blood markers used when evaluating a client for Iron IV therapy.
Appropriate lab work is required before receiving an Iron IV infusion. This panel evaluates iron stores, red blood cell health, inflammation, and other factors that may help determine whether Iron IV therapy is appropriate.
