What it measures
Ferritin reflects stored iron. It is often reported in ng/mL with wide laboratory-specific reference intervals.
Why people track it
Ferritin may appear with anemia workups or fatigue evaluations. Organizing confirmed values supports clearer longitudinal review.
How to read your report
Ferritin can rise during inflammation independent of iron stores. Your clinician interprets it with other iron studies when needed.
