Clinical Application:

Ferritin is an important iron storage protein in human body, which is involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis and immune system. The level of ferritin in serum can reflect the status of iron storage and body nutrition.

1. Elevated ferritin

(1) increased iron storage: primary hemochromatosis, secondary excessive iron load, such as excessive blood transfusion, inappropriate iron agent treatment, hemolytic anemia, etc.

(2) increased ferritin synthesis: inflammation or malignant lesions. Many malignant tumor cells can synthesize and secrete ferritin, such as liver cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, multiple myeloma, etc., ferritin determination has become one of the auxiliary diagnostic indicators of malignant tumors..

(3) increased ferritin release in tissues: serum ferritin is also significantly increased in acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis or other liver diseases.

2. Decreased ferritin

(1) reduced iron storage: such as iron deficiency anemia, malnutrition, etc. Serum ferritin can be used as an epidemiological indicator of malnutrition in children. Serum ferritin is the earliest and most accurate indicator for the diagnosis of recessive anemia.

(2) reduced ferritin synthesis: vitamin C deficiency, etc.

(3) some autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, sjogren's syndrome, and some collagen diseases, can significantly reduce ferritin.

(4) ferritin during pregnancy and lactation may also be lower than normal.
