Ferritin test in World Trade Centre, read by a doctor.
Ferritin is one of the most ordered tests by our British-trained GPs for World Trade Centre patients — and for good reason. A frequent and easily missed cause of fatigue, hair loss, brain fog and exercise intolerance — especially in menstruating women.
What Ferritin actually tells us
The body's main iron storage protein. Low ferritin = depleted iron stores; high ferritin = iron overload or inflammation.
Interpreted with full blood count, transferrin saturation, B12, folate and CRP — ferritin rises with inflammation so a 'normal' value can hide deficiency.
High Ferritin
>300 µg/L (men) or >200 (women) — investigate haemochromatosis, fatty liver, alcohol use or inflammation.
Low Ferritin
<30 µg/L = iron deficiency, even with normal haemoglobin. <15 = severe.
