Ferritin

Low ferritin levels may indicate iron deficiency, while high ferritin levels may indicate iron accumulation or hemochromatosis. Ferritin levels provide a better picture of the amount of iron stored in the body.

Ferritin

Ferritin levels provide a better picture of the amount of iron stored in the body, regardless of recent diet or other factors.

Ferritin is a protein present mainly in the liver and bone marrow that is used to store iron. However, a small amount of ferritin is also found in the blood. The amount of ferritin in blood is a measure of the amount of ferritin (and therefore the amount of iron) in the liver and bone marrow.

Iron is needed for the production of red blood cells (hemoglobin) in the bone marrow. If the body has too little iron, it will first use up the reserve supply in the form of ferritin. Only when there is almost no ferritin left, the body makes too few red blood cells and anemia occurs.

When there is too much iron in the body, the amount of ferritin in the tissues and blood is too high and a condition called iron deficiency disease(hemochromatosis) develops.

If the amount of hemoglobin is not sufficient (anemia), iron deficiency is one of the possible causes. The determination of ferritin is a good test to determine iron deficiency. Iron deficiency can occur due to excessive blood loss, insufficient iron in the diet or insufficient absorption of iron (from the diet) in the intestines. Symptoms associated with anemia include fatigue, shortness of breath, and dizziness.

Ferritin is also a good test to determine iron accumulation(hemochromatosis) in the body due to excess iron. Hemochromatosis is an inherited disease in which the body absorbs too much iron in the intestines. Symptoms that fit with iron accumulation disease are fatigue and pain in joints.

What is ferritin

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body. It shows how much iron supply you have. A low ferritin level can indicate iron deficiency, which can cause symptoms such as fatigue. Therefore, ferritin is often measured in blood tests to check your iron level.

what is a normal ferritin value

A normal ferritin level is usually between 30 and 300 micrograms per liter for men and between 15 and 150 micrograms per liter for women. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body. Measuring ferritin helps determine whether you have adequate iron stores, which are important for your energy and health.

what is ferritin value woman

The ferritin value indicates how much iron you have stored in your body. In women, the normal value is usually between 20 and 200 ng/ml. Too low a value can indicate iron deficiency, while too high a value can indicate inflammation or other health problems.
