What should be the optimal level of ferritin?
Good morning. I would like to know what the optimal level of ferritin should be? The result of my study: 6 with standards that seem quite wide: 10-200. I am 37 years old. With a result like mine, can ferritin deficiency cause palpitations?

The same reference ranges have not been established for the ferritin test, as they depend on several factors: sex, age, method of determination and the study population. The result of the ferritin test may vary depending on the laboratory in which it was performed. In any case, the result of the examination should be consulted with a doctor. The study of serum ferritin concentration is usually done with the study of other indicators of iron management so that anemia can be diagnosed. The palpitations mentioned by you are one of the symptoms of iron deficiency. I also encourage you to read the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/anemia-jak-leczyc-niedokrwistosc
