A ferritin test may be advised if you’re experiencing symptoms such as:
For high ferritin levels, symptoms might include:
These symptoms can indicate disrupted iron metabolism or chronic inflammation.
MaxAtHome offers a convenient at-home ferritin testing service. A certified phlebotomist arrives at your location at the selected time slot to collect a small blood sample from a vein, typically from the arm. The entire process takes less than ten minutes and involves minimal discomfort. The sample is then transported securely to a NABL-accredited lab for analysis. Results are shared digitally, typically within 24 to 48 hours, ensuring a quick turnaround without the need to travel or wait in queues at diagnostic centres. The test is safe, hygienic, and highly reliable.
No special preparation is usually required for a ferritin test. Fasting is not necessary unless the test is being conducted as part of a more comprehensive health panel that includes fasting glucose or lipid profile. Patients should inform their doctor about any iron supplements, recent blood transfusions, or anti-inflammatory medications, as these could affect test outcomes. Alcohol consumption and recent infections can also elevate ferritin levels temporarily. For best results, follow your physician’s advice regarding the timing of the test and associated medications.
With MaxAtHome, the Ferritin test results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours after sample collection.
Once the test is processed:
The normal range for serum ferritin varies depending on age, sex, and laboratory reference standards. Typically, adult men have ferritin levels between 24–336 ng/mL, and adult women between 11–307 ng/mL. For children, normal levels range from 7–140 ng/mL, while pregnant women often have lower values that require careful monitoring.
Low ferritin levels generally point to iron deficiency. This could result from chronic blood loss, poor dietary iron intake, or conditions that affect iron absorption such as coeliac disease. If not addressed early, low ferritin may progress to anaemia, impacting oxygen delivery and leading to more severe symptoms like shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat.
High ferritin levels may indicate inflammation, liver disease, or iron overload conditions like haemochromatosis. Infections, metabolic syndrome, and certain cancers can also cause elevated ferritin. It is important to interpret high results in conjunction with other markers, as a raised ferritin level on its own does not confirm a specific diagnosis.
Several factors can contribute to abnormal serum ferritin levels. Causes of low ferritin include heavy menstrual bleeding, frequent blood donation, digestive disorders, and malnutrition. High ferritin may result from excessive iron intake, chronic infections, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholism, or genetic disorders that lead to iron accumulation. Some medications and acute illnesses can temporarily raise ferritin levels. A detailed medical history and related test results are essential for correct diagnosis and management.
