LIAISON Ferritin

Ferritin is an intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it where and when it is needed. Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the most common nutritional disorder, responsible for 50% of anaemia cases.
IDA diminished red blood cell production due to low iron stores in the body and is characterized mostly by microcytic erythrocytes, even though it can also be present with normocytic erythrocytes. Serum ferritin is one of the main test for iron deficiency and it is the first assessment needed to elucidate the causes of anaemia.
