Iron deficiency assessment
Enter your sex, symptoms and lab values — the calculator will assess your iron status, deficiency and anemia risk, and suggest a dose. Lab tests are optional but noticeably improve accuracy. For a detailed look at the mechanisms, stages and risk groups, see the full guide to iron deficiency.
Three sources — one assessment
The calculator combines your questionnaire, symptoms and lab values. Each block adds accuracy: without tests you get a rough estimate from symptoms and lifestyle; with tests you also get iron status and anemia risk. If you don't have blood results yet, start with the symptom questionnaire.
