The Ferritin Test measures the levels of ferritin, a protein that stores iron in your body. This test is vital for understanding your iron levels and overall health. It’s commonly recommended for individuals who may experience symptoms of iron deficiency or overload, such as fatigue, weakness, or unexplained tiredness. It helps diagnose conditions like anemia or hemochromatosis.

Who is it for?

• Individuals experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency (e.g., fatigue, dizziness).
• Those with conditions such as anemia or suspected iron overload.
• People with a family history of iron-related health issues.

What is it for?
The test evaluates your body’s iron storage, helping to diagnose and monitor conditions related to iron imbalance.

Test Outcome:
Results can indicate if your iron levels are too low (iron deficiency) or too high (iron overload). This provides insights into your overall health and potential conditions that may need treatment.

Preparation Instructions:

• Fast for at least 12 hours before the test (only water is allowed).
• Avoid taking iron supplements 24 hours prior.
• Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or underlying conditions.
