Frequently Asked Questions

Is fasting required for hepcidin test?

Fasting is not mandatory, but consistent sample collection time is recommended as hepcidin follows a diurnal rhythm.

What sample is used for this test?

Serum is collected in a plain red-top or gel separator tube; minimum volume is 1 mL.

How is hepcidin result interpreted?

Low hepcidin suggests iron deficiency anemia; elevated levels are seen in anemia of chronic disease and iron overload disorders.

Which medications affect hepcidin levels?

Iron supplements, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, and inflammatory conditions can significantly alter hepcidin expression.

What is the typical turnaround time?

Reports are available within 24–48 hours after sample receipt at the NABL-accredited laboratory.

Can stress or infection change hepcidin?

Yes, inflammation and infection upregulate hepcidin via IL-6, leading to functional iron deficiency.
