What is this test
Ferritin - Serum test measure the level of ferritin in blood. Ferritin levels reflect iron
stores in normal individuals. A low serum ferritin level is an indicator of
iron deficiency. This assay is clinically useful in distinguishing between
Iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic disease . It is also useful to
assess iron overload conditions like Hemochromatosis. |
