What is the Ferritin Blood Test?

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron and is an acute phase reactant coordinating cellular defence against oxidative stress and inflammation. A ferritin blood test helps your doctor determine how much iron your body stores and anticipate and monitor iron deficiency.

What does the test measure?

A lower-than-usual ferritin level indicates your body’s iron stores are typical and you have iron deficiency. As a result, you could be anaemic.

High Ferritin levels can indicate damage to your organs, such as the liver and spleen.

High Level

The following conditions may cause ferritin’s high levels:

Acute/chronic liver disease.
Infection.
Inflammation.
Alcoholism.
Hyperthyroidism.
Gaucher disease.
Myocardial infection.
Iron overload (hemochromatosis).
End-stage kidney disease.
Hepatocellular carcinoma.
Megaloblastic anaemia, hemolytic anaemia, thalassemia.

Low Level

Ferritin’s low levels may be caused by the following:

Iron deficiency.
Hemodialysis.
