Introduction

• A serum iron test measures how much iron is in
  your serum. Serum is the liquid thats left over
  from your blood when red blood cells and clotting
  factors have been removed. The serum iron test
  can reveal abnormally low or high blood iron
  levels. Your doctor will most likely order this
  test after another lab test shows an abnormal
  result.

  is leading to significant overdiagnosis and
  underdiagnosis of iron deficiency in children
