IRON STORAGE & FERRITIN
Ferritin is the protein used to store iron in the body: the dosage of this protein is an excellent indicator of the amount of iron available.
Iron is an essential metal for our body and it is essential for the transport of oxygen in the blood, for the multiplication of cells and for building the structure of tissues and organs. However, if in excess, it turns out to be toxic: this is why our body has a system to introduce iron from the outside and keep it stored inside the cells in a non-excessive form – and therefore non-toxic. Low levels of ferritin in the blood indicate the absence of iron in the deposits, a condition that precedes the development of anemia.
WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?
IRON FER TEST is useful for checking the body’s iron reserves.
A decrease in blood ferritin levels can be caused by conditions and diseases such as anemia, pregnancy, bleeding, impaired iron absorption and tuberculosis.
