A ferritin blood test helps assess whether your body has the right amount of iron to function properly. Iron plays a key role in producing healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout your body. Low or high iron levels can lead to serious health issues if left unchecked.
This test can help with:
Your doctor might recommend a ferritin test if you experience symptoms of iron deficiency or iron overload.
If other tests, such as a low haemoglobin result, suggest iron imbalance, a ferritin blood test may be advised for further evaluation.
No special preparation is required. However, please inform your healthcare provider about any supplements or medications you are taking, as they could influence your iron levels.
