How accurate is the U-Test Iron Deficiency Rapid Home Test Kit?
The U-Test Iron Deficiency Rapid Home Test Kit is highly accurate when used correctly, with results comparable to standard laboratory ferritin tests.

Can I use the U-Test Iron Deficiency Rapid Home Test Kit while taking iron supplements?
If you are already taking iron supplements, the U-Test Iron Deficiency Rapid Home Test Kit may show improved ferritin levels. However, it’s best to take the test before beginning supplementation or after consulting your GP to ensure accurate interpretation of your iron status.
What should I do if my U-Test Iron Deficiency Rapid Home Test Kit result is positive?
If your U-Test Iron Deficiency Rapid Home Test Kit result indicates low iron, book an appointment with your GP for further testing. They may recommend a full blood count or additional assessments to confirm iron deficiency and discuss appropriate treatment options such as dietary changes or supplements.
Is the U-Test Iron Deficiency Rapid Home Test Kit reusable?

In order to use the U-Test Iron Deficiency Rapid Home Test Kit, prick your fingertip with the sterile lancet provided, collect a small blood sample, and place it on the test cassette. Add the provided buffer solution, then wait for the results to appear within a few minutes. Always follow the enclosed instructions carefully for accurate results.

How it works
The U-Test Iron Deficiency Rapid Home Test Kit detects ferritin levels in the blood, which indicate the amount of stored iron in the body. By analysing a small blood sample, the test uses immunoassay technology to identify whether your ferritin levels are within a normal range or suggestive of iron deficiency.
