The results of a Ferritin Test are reported as the concentration of ferritin in the blood, usually measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
- Normal ferritin levels vary depending on factors such as age, sex, and individual health conditions.
- Higher ferritin levels may indicate iron overload conditions like hemochromatosis or liver disease, while lower levels can suggest iron deficiency anemia.
- It's important to interpret the test results in conjunction with other clinical findings and consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and diagnosis. They will guide you on the next steps, which may include further testing or treatment options.
