Common questions

Do I need to fast before Iron Studies?

Yes — 10 hours of fasting is required. Water is allowed throughout. We send a WhatsApp reminder the night before so it is not a surprise in the morning.

Within 24 hours of collection. It arrives on WhatsApp as a doctor-signed PDF, and a copy stays in your account to download whenever you need it.

Can the sample be collected at home?

Yes, anywhere in our South Delhi service area. Home collection is free on orders above ₹500, and the fee below that is shown before you confirm.

What does Iron Studies cost?

₹500. That is the full price — there are no separate reporting or handling charges, and you can pay online or on collection.

Important. This page describes what a test measures and costs. It is not medical advice, and a result needs a doctor to interpret it alongside your symptoms and history. If you have severe symptoms — chest pain, breathlessness, heavy bleeding, fainting or a very high fever — do not wait for a test. Seek emergency care or call 112 immediately.
