Ferritin

The Biorex Diagnostics Ferritin CLIA kit is intended for the quantitative determination of circulating ferritin concentrations in human serum by a microplate chemiluminescence.

Ferritin, in circulation, as measured in serum levels is a satisfactory index of body’s iron storage. The iron storage is directly measured by quantitative phlebotomy, iron absorption studies, liver biopsies and microscopic examinations of bone marrow aspirates. Iron deficiency (anemia) and iron overload (hemochromatosis) are conditions associated with body’s iron storage or lack thereof.
