About this test

What is this test for?

Ferritin testing helps determine whether symptoms may be linked to depleted iron stores or iron overload. Results guide decisions about supplementation, further investigation, or monitoring in chronic health conditions.


What does this test measure?

Ferritin measurement is often requested when symptoms such as fatigue, hair thinning, dizziness, or unexplained weakness suggest possible iron imbalance. It may also be used in the investigation of anaemia, heavy menstrual bleeding, or chronic inflammatory conditions. In some cases, ferritin is monitored over time to assess response to iron supplementation.
