Test Overview

Ferritin, found in specific cells, reflects total body iron stores. As a storage form of iron, ferritin binds and releases iron in a controlled manner, buffering against deficiency or overload. Iron plays vital roles in metabolism, cell formation, energy production, oxygen transport, bone marrow function, and muscle health. Ferretin's serum concentration indicates iron status. The test is crucial for diagnosing conditions like iron deficiency anaemia, where levels drop to 1/10th of normal, or iron overload diseases like hemochromatosis, where levels rise.
