The Ferritin test measures the amount of ferritin protein in a venous blood sample, reflecting your body’s iron stores. This single biomarker may help you understand whether you have enough iron for oxygen transport and energy production. It’s aimed at individuals with fatigue, heavy menstrual bleeding, or dietary iron concerns.
About this treatment
The Ferritin test quantifies ferritin, the primary intracellular iron‑binding protein, from a single venous blood draw. Because ferritin levels generally mirror total body iron, the result may give you a picture of whether your iron reserves are sufficient to support hemoglobin synthesis, muscle function, and overall vitality. The test is appropriate for people experiencing unexplained tiredness, those with menstrual blood loss, or anyone following a low‑iron diet. After collection, the sample is processed in the lab and results are provided within the usual turnaround time. The fee includes the blood draw, ferritin assay, a written report, and a brief tele‑consultation to discuss any next steps.

Who is this for?
Individuals assessing iron stores
Biomarkers tested
1The primary iron storage protein. Ferritin reflects total body iron stores and is the first marker to drop in iron deficiency. However, ferritin also rises with inflammation, infection, and liver disease, which can mask true iron deficiency.
