Description
What this test measures
Ferritin is the protein your body stores iron in, so its level in blood mirrors your iron reserves. Stores fall before haemoglobin does, which is why ferritin catches iron deficiency well before it shows up as anaemia on a CBC.
Who should consider it
Women with heavy periods, vegetarians, people with persistent fatigue, hair fall, breathlessness on stairs or restless legs at night, and anyone whose CBC showed small pale red cells. Also useful before starting iron supplements, so treatment is aimed rather than guessed.
Preparation
No fasting required, though a morning sample is preferred. Mention any recent infection, since ferritin rises with inflammation and can mask a genuine deficiency.
