About this test

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).

  • Brittle nails, cold hands/feet, restless legs.
  • Suspected hemochromatosis (iron overload).

Who may benefit

  • Those with family history of iron-related conditions.
  • Pregnant individuals.

How this test is used
