Who are eligible for the ferritin test in Domlur-west, Bangalore?
- Any individual is eligible to go for a ferritin test, especially when the healthcare provider suspects that you have too much or too little in your body. The doctor will prescribe you a ferritin test. This test will help to diagnose or determine iron deficiency anaemia and hemochromatosis (a health condition that causes your body to absorb a higher percentage of iron from the food you eat).
Why take a ferritin test?
- You are most likely to undergo a ferritin test to determine the iron levels in your body. A ferritin test helps your doctor determine how much iron your body stores. If a ferritin test indicates that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, your body’s iron stores are low, and you are diagnosed with an iron deficiency, you could be anaemic.
What are the benefits of the ferritin test?
- A ferritin test helps your doctor determine how much iron your body stores and the lower and higher iron levels in the body so that effective treatment can be planned. The ferritin test helps to diagnose iron deficiency anaemia, liver disease, adult Still’s disease, and hemochromatosis so that chronic health issues can be overcome before it is too late.

Helps you know your test better
Q. What Is A Ferritin Test?

A. If you get abnormal results or a high/low level of iron in your body, your healthcare provider may ask you to do additional tests to determine the root cause of the problem.
