Ferritin is a protein found in the body that stores iron. The Ferritin Test is a blood test that measures the level of ferritin in your blood. This test is used to help diagnose conditions related to iron levels in your body such as anemia, hemochromatosis, or restless leg syndrome.

Anemia is a condition where your body doesn't have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to your organs and tissues. Low levels of ferritin can be a sign of iron-deficiency anemia, which means that your body isn't producing enough red blood cells due to a lack of iron.

Hemochromatosis is a condition where your body absorbs too much iron from the food you eat. High levels of ferritin can be a sign of hemochromatosis, which can lead to organ damage and other serious health problems.

Restless leg syndrome is a condition where you have an uncontrollable urge to move your legs. Low levels of ferritin have been linked to restless leg syndrome, although the exact relationship is still unclear.

If you are experiencing symptoms related to any of these conditions or if you have been diagnosed with anemia, hemochromatosis, or restless leg syndrome, your doctor may recommend that you get a Ferritin Test done.
