Description

The amount of ferritin in the blood (serum ferritin level) is directly related to the amount of iron stored in our body. Iron is needed to make healthy red blood cells. These cells carry oxygen to body tissues.

Overview

A ferritin test measures the level of ferritin in the blood, which is a protein that stores iron in your body. It reflects the amount of stored iron, helping assess your iron levels and determine if you have an iron deficiency or overload. Ferritin levels can be used to evaluate conditions like anemia, chronic inflammation, liver disease, or iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis.

Risk assessment

Liver damage, Ulcers, Hemochromatosis, Anaemia

Ranges

Normal Range:

For men: 24–336 ng/mL
For women: 11–307 ng/mL (Note: Normal values can vary slightly depending on the lab and testing method used.)

Test result interpretation

Interpretation:

Low ferritin levels: Indicate iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia. This can be caused by inadequate iron intake, blood loss, or poor absorption of iron.
High ferritin levels: Can suggest iron overload (hemosiderosis or hemochromatosis), inflammation, liver disease, or certain cancers.
Normal ferritin levels: Suggest normal iron storage and no immediate signs of iron deficiency or overload, but it’s important to consider other lab results for a full diagnosis.
