The Ferritin test measures the level of ferritin, a protein that stores iron in the body and releases it when needed. Ferritin reflects the total iron reserves and is a key marker for diagnosing iron deficiency anemia, iron overload conditions, and chronic inflammatory states. Low ferritin levels indicate depleted iron stores, while elevated levels may be seen in iron overload, liver disease, infections, or inflammatory disorders. This test is widely used to monitor iron therapy and assess overall iron metabolism.
