Quick answer
Ferritin Testing measures ferritin, a protein that stores iron inside cells and reflects the body's iron reserves. It is commonly ordered when a provider wants to check for iron deficiency or iron overload. The test uses a single blood draw, and results describe stored iron rather than the iron currently circulating in the blood.
About this test in Alva
Iron is essential for making red blood cells and for many cellular functions. Because free iron is reactive, the body stores most of it inside ferritin, a protein found mainly in the liver and immune cells. The amount of ferritin in the blood generally tracks the size of those iron stores.
A low ferritin level suggests depleted iron stores and is a common clue in the evaluation of iron deficiency, including when it occurs before anemia develops. A high ferritin level can reflect iron overload, but it can also rise with inflammation, infection, liver conditions, and other factors, so it is interpreted carefully.
Providers often order ferritin together with other tests, such as a complete blood count, serum iron, transferrin, and transferrin saturation, to build a fuller picture. The result alone does not diagnose a condition, and a qualified healthcare provider decides what further evaluation is appropriate.
