About test
What does FERRITIN measure?
This test measures ferritin, a protein that stores iron in the body and reflects iron reserves. It may be used to help assess low or high iron stores, investigate possible iron-related conditions, or monitor changes in iron status over time. Ferritin levels can also be affected by inflammation and other health conditions, so results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory tests.
