Ferritin Rapid test

Ferritin Rapid test

Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. Plasma ferritin is an indirect marker of the total amount of iron stored in the body; hence serum ferritin is used as a diagnostic test for iron deficiency anemia.

A normal ferritin blood level, referred to as the reference interval is determined by many testing laboratories. In most tissues, ferritin is a major iron storage protein.Under normal conditions, this may represent 25% of the total iron found in the body. In addition, ferritin can be found in several isomers.
If the ferritin level is low, there is a risk for lack of iron, which could lead to anemia. Low ferritin may also indicate hypothyroidism, vitamin C deficiency or celiac disease. Low serum ferritin levels are seen in some patients with restless legs syndrome, not necessarily related to anemia, but perhaps due to low iron stores short of anemia.
