Iron deficiency is common in Malaysia, particularly among women of childbearing age, vegetarians, and growing children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is ferritin testing better than just checking for anaemia?▼
Ferritin measures your iron stores — it becomes low weeks to months before haemoglobin drops and anaemia appears. Detecting low ferritin early allows treatment before symptoms worsen. Many patients with normal haemoglobin already have severely depleted iron stores causing fatigue and hair loss.
Who should get an iron deficiency test at Klinik Muhibbah?▼
Women with heavy periods, pregnant women, vegetarians and vegans, children with poor dietary intake, athletes, and anyone with unexplained fatigue or hair loss should test their ferritin. It is a simple blood test that can explain symptoms that have been present for years.
What is the treatment for low ferritin?▼
Treatment depends on the cause and severity. Mild to moderate iron deficiency is treated with oral iron supplements prescribed by our doctor. Severe deficiency or poor absorption may require IV iron infusion (referral arranged). Dietary advice on iron-rich foods is also provided.
