About Our Ferritin Serum Test
Overview
The ferritin test is useful in understanding the symptoms related to anemias as well as iron overload. Normal levels for ferritin vary from one person to another, so it is important to confirm your results with a health care professional. Iron is vitally important in your body's production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for oxygen exchange between the lungs and tissues. It is also important for metabolism, hormone production and growth and development.
