The amount of ferritin describes the body's iron stores. Ferritin levels decrease earlier than hemoglobin, and therefore assessing ferritin plays a crucial role in the early detection of iron deficiency anemia. However, the cause of iron deficiency should always be investigated. If the test gives a negative result, meaning the ferritin level is less than 30 ng/ml, it is advisable to discuss the matter with healthcare professionals.

Anemia caused by iron deficiency is most common in children and women of all ages, but especially in menstruating women (up to 20% suffer from iron deficiency). The main symptoms are paleness, a feeling of fatigue, headaches, a faster-than-normal heart rate or difficulty breathing during exercise, and slower recovery from exercise.
