Ferritin, an important iron storage protein, is essential for iron homeostasis and is involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. In clinical medicine, ferritin is primarily used as a marker of the body’s total iron stores. In the event of iron deficiency and overload, serum ferritin plays a critical role in both diagnosis and management. It is clear that low values of ferritin below the reference range are generally representative of a deficiency of body iron. A recent study suggests that ferritin provides a more sensitive, specific and reliable measure for determining iron deficiency at an early stage.
