Description
Ferritin, Serum is a crucial blood test that quantifies the amount of ferritin, a protein that stores iron, in the bloodstream. This test is essential for evaluating a patient’s iron status, as ferritin levels directly correlate with total body iron stores. Low levels may indicate iron deficiency anemia, while high levels can suggest conditions like hemochromatosis or inflammation. The test is valuable for diagnosing and monitoring various iron-related disorders, guiding treatment plans, and assessing the effectiveness of iron supplementation or therapeutic interventions.
