23 Φεβ 2017 · Ferritin reflects total body iron stores. Iron deficiency is the only clinical situation associated with extremely low values of ferritin. Ferritin declines gradually during pregnancy, reaches a nadir during weeks 35 to 38, and increases during the month before delivery.
A serum ferritin level of less than 30 μg/L in pregnancy is indicative of iron deficiency. Levels higher than this do not rule out iron deficiency or depletion: 2C: The optimal dose of elemental oral iron of 40–80 mg every morning is suggested, checking haemoglobin at 2–3 weeks to ensure an adequate response. Further research is warranted. 2C
