What lab to test iron


nancyochi
 

My vet wants to use Cornell for this iron level test he has agreed to run.  I told him I heard KSU was the lab to send to (which is closer to us so I would think overnight freight is more reasonable) was the lab to use.  Please help me convince him to use KSU.

OMG Lorna, thank you SO much!!  That is exactly what I needed.  I did do my own search before posting but did not find those.  Dr K had previously told me to use KSU and what to test for, but I did not grasp that it was the ferritin test that could only be done there.

There is SO much information in the ECIR files - I wish I had more time to read it all.  I am slowly working my way through though.  You are all miracle workers!!

Thank you,
Nancy
