Ferritin is a form of iron absorption and storage. It is a good measure of the body’s iron stores, and low ferritin content is a sign of iron deficiency.

The new reference range for the test is 2–1675 µg/l.

The iron absorption test indicates whether you have an iron deficiency and if orally taken iron supplements are absorbed by your body. The test is recommended if there is a suspicion of poor iron absorption. The duration of the test is 2 hours. In addition to the iron absorption test, it includes tests for ferritin, CRP, and complete blood count.

Adequate iron intake affects, among other things, endurance, mood, general well-being, and heart function. In addition to ferritin, two other useful tests have been selected for examining iron deficiency: the inflammation marker CRP and a complete blood count. With Puhti's tests, you can assess the state of your body. When your body is in balance and your lifestyle is in order, you can cope better in everyday life, gain more energy for exercise, and prevent diseases!

Iron is needed for the formation of red blood cells’ hemoglobin. In addition, it acts as a catalyst in many enzyme reactions. An iron test (fP-Fe) is primarily carried out as an additional test when determining the transferrin saturation.

The transferrin receptor is a recipient molecule for the iron transport protein. It receives the iron transported to the red blood cell, facilitating the transfer of iron into the red blood cell. The concentration of the transferrin receptor in the blood increases in cases of iron deficiency. The S-TfR test is used to detect iron deficiency.
