FERRI Check Test
At-home anaemia test
Iron deficiency anaemia is widespread in children and women of all ages, but mainly in women who are still menstruating (at least 20% suffer from iron deficiency). The main signs, such as paleness, fatigue, headache, rapid pulse or shortness of breath during exercise, appear gradually and may go unnoticed. Therefore, it is important to determine whether the existing iron is sufficient for the body's needs.
Iron deficiency occurs when the blood does not contain enough red cells and therefore has low levels of haemoglobin, which is the main protein that transports oxygen throughout the body. An important component of haemoglobin is iron.
Want to know if you suffer from iron deficiency? FERRI-Check is a rapid immunodiagnostic test which evaluates ferritin (a protein capable of storing iron in cells) from a blood sample obtained from the finger.
