Ferritin is one of the essential proteins which controls the absorption and release of iron in the body. Ferritin Test checks for the levels of the ferritin in blood and assesses the body?s capacity to store iron. A low ferritin level, indicates iron deficiency, while an excess build up of ferritin might lead to hemochromatosis that can cause organ damage. Increased ferritin levels can also be observed in patients suffering from chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, liver diseases, kidney failure etc. Elevated ferritin levels during COVID-19 infection indicate the risk of complications in acute cases. Therefore, it is highly recommended to undergo this test during COVID infection as well as recovery phase.
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron and also serves as an indicator of iron stores in the body.
Iron is essential for many bodily functions, including the production of red blood cells and the functioning of enzymes. Ferritin helps to store excess iron and release it when needed. Measuring ferritin levels provides valuable information about the body's iron stores and can help in the diagnosis and management of iron-related disorders.
The ferritin quantitative test involves taking a blood sample and analyzing it in the laboratory. The results are usually reported in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Normal ranges for ferritin levels can vary depending on factors such as age, gender, and specific laboratory reference values.
Low ferritin levels indicate depleted iron stores or iron-deficiency anemia, which can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating. High ferritin levels may indicate excess iron stores or conditions such as liver disease, hemochromatosis, or other disorders associated with iron overload.
Interpretation of ferritin test results should be done by a healthcare professional familiar with the patient's medical history, symptoms, and other relevant factors. Additional tests, such as complete blood count (CBC) and iron panel tests, may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and guide further management.
