Ferritin
Ferritin ist ein Biomarker, der den Eisenspeicher im Körper anzeigt. Hohe Ferritinwerte können auf eine Eisenüberladung oder Entzündungen hinweisen, während niedrige Werte auf einen Eisenmangel hindeuten können. Daher ist die Messung von Ferritinwerten wichtig für die Diagnose und Überwachung von Eisenstoffwechselstörungen und Entzündungskrankheiten.
Frequently asked questions about Ferritin Test
Frequently asked questions about Ferritin Test

The test is suitable for people who suspect iron deficiency or iron excess, as well as for people with chronic diseases that can affect iron stores.
3. How does the ferritin test differ from the iron test?
The iron test measures the iron content in the blood, while the ferritin test assesses the iron reserves in the body. Both tests together provide a complete picture of iron metabolism.
4. What symptoms can indicate a ferritin deficiency?
Symptoms such as constant fatigue, paleness, hair loss, dizziness and weakness may indicate low ferritin levels.
