Ferritin is a protein your body needs that stores iron (Fe). It also acts as an acute-phase reactant, helping your cells
defend against oxidative stress and inflammation. The report helps your doctor see how much iron your body stores and monitor for any deficiency.
What does Ferritin measure?
A lower-than-normal level means your body’s iron stores are low, which could lead to iron
deficiency and anemia.
High levels may suggest damage to organs like the liver or spleen.

The following conditions may cause high levels:
- Acute/chronic liver disease.

- Alcoholism.
- Hyperthyroidism.
- Gaucher disease.
- Myocardial infarction (heart attack).
- Iron overload (hemochromatosis). kidney disease.

- Iron deficiency.
