Ferritin | Adults from 18-45 years:
10 µg/Liter bis 220 µg/Liter |
Ferritin is one of the proteins that is stored in iron. In addition, ferritin protects cells from free iron.
If the ferritin values are outside the norm, it may be due to anemia, for example. These values increase in adults over 45 years of age up to an upper limit of 400 µg/litre. In a direct comparison, the values for women decrease up to 70 µg/liter up to 45 and with a limit of 18 µg/liter and an upper limit of 120 µg/liter in women over 45 years. |
