A ferritin test can detect conditions related to abnormal iron storage, such as: Iron Deficiency: Low ferritin confirms depleted iron stores, often leading to anemia. Hemochromatosis: High ferritin levels indicate iron overload, which can damage organs. Chronic Diseases: Elevated ferritin may reflect inflammation or infections. Liver Disease: Conditions like hepatitis or cirrhosis often raise ferritin levels. Cancer: Some malignancies, particularly leukemia or lymphoma, can alter ferritin levels. By providing insights into iron metabolism, the test aids in diagnosing these conditions and monitoring treatment effectiveness.
