About the Ferritin (Venous)
The Ferritin (Venous) is an individual blood test offered at our private clinic in London. A venous blood is collected by a registered nurse during an appointment lasting approximately 20 minutes. Results are typically available within 1 day" and are delivered securely via email.
Iron is an essential mineral that the body uses to produce haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled manner. Measuring ferritin levels is considered the most reliable indicator of the body's iron stores. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide, according to the World Health Organisation. It is particularly prevalent among women of reproductive age, pregnant women, growing children, and individuals with restricted diets. Iron overload, though less common, can also be detected through blood testing.
