Parameter
| Biomarker | Ferritin | Full name | Ferritin | Molecular Type | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Molecular Formula | Molecular Weight | Core Functional Dimensions | Diagnosis, assessment of iron reserves | ||
| Disease | Anemia | Disease Subtypes | / | ||
| Organ | Blood, bone marrow | Test Sample / Technology Platform | Serum (immunoturbidimetry, ELISA) | ||
| Pathobiological Mechanisms | It reflects the amount of iron storage in the body. When iron deficiency occurs, it decreases early, and when inflammation occurs, it increases nonspecifically. | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Clinical routine application: Core indicators for diagnosing IDA. | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | It is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment based on inflammatory markers (such as CRP) to avoid false negatives caused by inflammation. | ||||
