GlossaryFerritin Deficiency

condition where iron storage protein levels are abnormally low

Ferritin deficiency, also known as low ferritin, refers to a condition where the body has lower-than-normal levels of ferritin, a protein that stores iron in cells. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and hair loss, as iron is crucial for various bodily functions, including the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells.
