What this test screens for
Understanding the Iron & Ferritin
The Iron & Ferritin Test is processed at the same reference labs that hospitals and major medical groups use, so your results come with the same reference ranges and methodology your physician expects. Serum iron plus ferritin — used to investigate fatigue, hair loss and anemia.
With walk-in blood work in Chantilly, you decide exactly what you want to know about — no weeks-long wait for a primary-care referral, and nothing logged on your insurance record. The doctor’s order comes with the visit.
No insurance, no doctor’s referral, and no surprise bills — you see the full price before any sample is collected. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and we can provide an itemized receipt for reimbursement.
Markers measured in this screening: Serum iron; Ferritin (your body’s stored iron). Your report lists each value next to the laboratory’s reference range, so anything outside the expected range is easy to spot and discuss with a provider — results inform that conversation, they do not diagnose a condition on their own.
Why people get this test
- Ongoing fatigue, weakness, or shortness of breath
- Hair thinning or hair loss
- Heavy menstrual periods
- Restless legs or unusual cravings (for example, ice)
- Following up on anemia or monitoring iron as an athlete

FAQ
Iron & Ferritin Test — what people ask
Specific questions about the iron & ferritin test. For anything not covered, call 571-500-7030.
What is the difference between iron and ferritin?
Serum iron measures the iron circulating in your blood right now, while ferritin reflects your stored iron reserves. Ferritin often drops before serum iron does, so measuring both gives a fuller picture of iron status. This test screens both values to help explain symptoms like fatigue or hair loss. It flags low or high iron stores; a provider determines the cause and any next steps.
Will my primary-care doctor accept these results?
Yes. All blood work is processed at the same accredited reference labs hospitals and clinics use. Reports include the same reference ranges and methodology your physician is used to seeing.
Can I get a paper or fax copy of my results?
Yes. Results live in your secure online portal indefinitely, and we can print a paper copy at the lab or fax them directly to your physician at no additional charge.
How do I know if I should fast?
Tests measuring glucose, cholesterol, and most metabolic panels are best done fasting. Hormone, vitamin, and most thyroid panels do not require fasting. When in doubt, fast — water-only — and call us if you have questions before your visit.
