Ferritin
Ferritin (iron stores)
A general explanation of Ferritin on a blood test: what a result outside the range is commonly associated with, and how often the test is usually repeated.
What does a low Ferritin result mean?
Low ferritin indicates reduced iron stores in the body, which is commonly related to fatigue and low energy.
What does a high Ferritin result mean?
High ferritin can have several causes, including inflammation in the body (ferritin rises during inflammatory processes, not only from excess iron).
How often is a Ferritin test usually repeated?
Commonly rechecked 2 to 3 months after starting or adjusting supplementation, as advised by your doctor.
