The Ferritin Test measures ferritin, the primary intracellular iron storage protein, in serum, reflecting total body iron stores. Low ferritin is an early indicator of iron deficiency anemia, leading to fatigue, pallor, and impaired cognition. High ferritin may be seen in chronic inflammation, liver disease, or iron overload conditions. This test helps determine anemia causes, guide iron therapy, and assess inflammatory states. The blood sample does not require fasting. Redcliffe Labs provides home collection and precise ferritin measurements to facilitate effective diagnosis and treatment of iron-related disorders
