Orderable Test Description
Special stain. This iron stain is used to detect and identify ferric (Fe3+) iron in tissue preparations, blood smears, or bone marrow smears. Minute amounts of ferric acid are commonly found in bone marrow and in the spleen. Abnormal amounts of iron can indicate hemochromatosis and hemosiderosis. Lack of iron identification can indicate iron-deficient anemia.
