Ferritin

    Last Updated: October 13, 2024

    Ferritin is the primary protein for storing iron in the body. Ferritin levels are generally used as an indirect measure of iron levels (e.g., for diagnosis of anemia). However, in some conditions, ferritin levels can remain high when iron levels are low.
