Ferritin (IA0075)

Description

Ferritin is a blood test used to measure the level of ferritin, a protein that stores iron in the body. It is the most sensitive indicator of total body iron stores and is essential in the diagnosis and monitoring of iron deficiency anemia, iron overload disorders, chronic inflammation, and liver disease. Ferritin levels are also affected by infection and inflammatory conditions, making clinical correlation important for accurate interpretation.
