Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

The ferritin test is a blood test that measures the level of ferritin, a protein that stores iron in the body. The test is used to diagnose iron deficiency anemia, which is a lack of red blood cells caused by low iron levels.

If you are experiencing fatigue or other symptoms of iron deficiency, your doctor may order a ferritin test. A protein called ferritin helps your cells store iron. A ferritin test can help diagnose iron deficiency and gauge how well treatment is working.

No, the ferritin test does not require fasting.

The most common symptom of low ferritin levels is fatigue. This can range from feeling tired all the time to more severe exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest.

If you have too much ferritin in your body, it can lead to a condition called hemochromatosis. This can cause a number of symptoms, including: Joint pain, depression, heart problems etc.

The test is used to diagnose and treat conditions associated with abnormal iron levels, such as iron deficiency anemia and hemochromatosis. It can also be used to monitor iron levels in people with chronic kidney disease or other conditions that may cause iron imbalance.

A ferritin test is typically performed as a blood test. A small sample of blood is taken from a vein in your arm and sent to a laboratory for analysis.

I found out about the Max Lab ferritin serum test from my doctor who made me aware of my iron levels. I took the test and was given a report that I could read online. It was nice to be able to see if anything was going on with my iron levels and set out some goals to maintain.

I was diagnosed with anemia and after my doctor referred me to Max Lab, I did a quick online test. The results were back within 24 hours and it led me to find out that I had been living with this for years. Thanks to Max Lab, I am now being treated.
