FER Antibody Test Uncut Sheet

Ferritin is one of the main forms of iron stored in the body. Has the ability to bind iron and store iron to maintain the supply of iron and the relative stability of hemoglobin in the body. Serum ferritin measurement is the most sensitive indicator to check iron deficiency in the body, used to diagnose iron deficiency anemia, liver disease, etc., and is also one of the markers of malignant tumors.

Ferritin is a widely present ferritin with a nanometer-sized hydrated iron oxide core and a cage-shaped protein shell. Ferritin is a protein that contains 20% iron. As a rule, it is present in almost all body tissues, especially hepatocytes and reticuloendothelial cells, as iron reserves. Trace amounts of serum ferritin reflect normal iron stores. Measurement of serum ferritin is an important basis for diagnosing iron deficiency anaemia.
