| The determination of serum ferritin is an important parameter for diagnosis and therapy control of the iron-deficiency. A negative iron-balance decreases the ferritin value. Ferritin contents below 12 ng/ml indicate a manifested iron-deficiency. During therapy with iron, ferritin values indicate the actual iron storage. Ferritin measurements are recommended for risk groups, like blood donors, pregnant women, hemodialysis patients and infants. In some cases of iron-overloading serum ferritin values can exceed 500 ng/ml. Patients with liver diseases, tumors, infectious diseases, inflammations and malignancies reveal elevated ferritin values. The whole clinical situation can only be evaluated by considering the entire diagnostic parameters. |
