    Overview

    Diagnose hypochromic, microcytic anemias. Ferritin levels correlate with total body storage iron.
    Ferritin is a protein that stores iron inside your cells. The Ferritin test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood, which directly reflects the total amount of iron stored in your body. It is a crucial indicator for diagnosing both iron deficiency (which can lead to anemia) and iron overload conditions (like hemochromatosis).

    Diagnose hypochromic, microcytic anemias. Decreased in iron deficiency anemia and increased in iron overload.

    Clinical context

    Who benefits
    • Individuals with anemia symptoms.
    • Those with family history of iron-related conditions.
    • Pregnant individuals.
    When to consider
    • Persistent fatigue, weakness, pale skin.
    • Brittle nails, cold hands/feet, restless legs.
    • Suspected hemochromatosis (iron overload).
    Common clinical indications
    • Iron Deficiency Anemia
    • Iron Overload (Hemochromatosis)
    • Anemia of Chronic Disease
    • Liver Disease

    Preparation & safety

    How to prepare

    No special preparation is typically required. You do not need to fast.

    Cautions & risks

    Ferritin is an acute-phase reactant; levels can elevate due to inflammation, liver disease, or infection regardless of iron stores.
