What is a Ferritin Test?

A ferritin test is a simple blood test that measures the level of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron and stores it inside your body's cells for future use.

This test helps your doctor understand your body's total iron storage levels and is a key tool for diagnosing conditions related to iron deficiency or iron overload. The test requires a small amount of blood, typically drawn from a vein in your arm.

Frequently asked questions

Find quick answers to the most common questions about health tests, bookings, and reports.

Due to natural daily variations in ferritin levels, the best time to take the test is between 8-10 AM or 4-6 PM. However, always follow your doctor’s specific instructions, as timing may vary based on your individual health needs or medical history.

Overnight fasting is not required for the ferritin test. However, consult your doctor for specific preparation instructions based on your individual health needs.

Yes, dehydration can affect blood test results by concentrating blood components, potentially making ferritin levels appear falsely elevated. Stay well-hydrated before your test for accurate results.

Avoid high biotin supplements (>5 mg/day) for at least 8 hours before testing. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you're taking for guidance.
