    GlossarySerum Ferritin

    protein that stores iron in your body

    Serum Ferritin is a blood test that measures the amount of ferritin, a protein that stores iron in your body. This test helps assess your body's iron levels, which is crucial for diagnosing conditions like iron deficiency anemia or iron overload disorders. Low serum ferritin levels can be associated with hair loss and other health issues.
