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.

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.
