Cassette express test for ferritin
The ferritin test is intended for visual (qualitative) quick determination of ferritin by immunochromatographic analysis for the purpose of diagnosing iron deficiency anemia.
A low level of ferritin in the body signals the threat of iron loss, which leads to anemia. A low ferritin level can also indicate hypothyroidism, vitamin C deficiency, and celiac disease.
A low level of ferritin can be observed with restless legs syndrome, which is not necessarily associated with anemia. The minimum level of determination of ferritin (threshold level) is 30 ng/ml.
