Specific thresholds for ferritin are used to detect iron deficiency and overload in different age groups. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 42% of children less than 5 years of age and 40% of pregnant women worldwide are anaemic.

6 Δεκ 2019 · Blood is routinely drawn for complete blood count, reticulocytes, reticulated-Hb content, and ferritin levels before each infusion. For an iron-deficient non-anemic patient, we will replete with 300 to 600 mg total (1-2 doses) and reassess iron status in ∼3 months after infusion.
Summary Background. Serum ferritin concentrations are the most widely used indicator for iron deficiency. WHO determined that insufficient data are available to revise the serum ferritin thresholds of less than 12 μg/L for children and less than 15 μg/L for women, which were developed on the basis of expert opinion, to define iron deficiency.
19 Δεκ 2023 · If a ferritin test shows that the blood ferritin level is low, it means the body's iron stores are low. This is a condition called iron deficiency. Iron deficiency can cause anemia. If a ferritin test shows high ferritin levels, it most often means swelling in the body, called inflammation.
