Iron studies (also called an iron panel) are a group of blood tests that measure different substances to evaluate the amount of iron in the body. The panel typically includes serum iron, ferritin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation. These tests are used to diagnose iron deficiency anemia, iron overload (hemochromatosis), and other conditions affecting iron metabolism.
