 About Ferritin Blood Test

 A ferritin blood test is used to measure the amount of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron. A ferritin blood test helps your doctor in understanding how much iron is being stored in your body.

If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates that the iron stores of your body are low. This can mean that you have iron deficiency and as a result, you could be anemic.

A higher-than-normal level indicated by a ferritin blood test shows that the iron stores of your body are high. It could indicate that you may have liver disease or rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory conditions or hyperthyroidism. Certain types of cancer can also cause high blood ferritin levels.

Ferritin blood test in Kolkata costs around Rs. 1000 to Rs. 1200.

The Need of a Ferritin Blood Test

Your doctor may order a ferritin test if other blood tests are pointing to possible anemia, which can lead to a lack of oxygen in your blood. A ferritin test can indicate if there is a high level of iron or a low level of iron in your body.

Low iron could be the cause if you:

• Often feel dizzy, weak, and tired
• Have headaches
• Look pale
• Are short of breath
• Have a rapid heartbeat

If left unchecked, low levels of iron can also cause heart failure which can cause symptoms like:

• Chest pain
• Leg pain
• Ringing in the ears, or tinnitus

A ferritin blood test can also help your doctor diagnose if too much iron is being stored by your body. High levels may be indicative of alcohol abuse or any form of infection or any kind of liver disease. It can also indicate if you have rheumatoid arthritis, overactive thyroid gland, or even some types of cancer.

Symptoms of high iron levels may include the following:

• Exhaustion
• Heart problems
• Joint pain
• Low sex drive
• Loss of body hair
• Stomach pain
• Weight loss
• Abdominal pain
• Lack of energy
