Product description

Ferritin level test (fingertip whole blood).

This is a rapid test for the qualitative determination of ferritin in human fingertip blood for the detection of iron deficiency anemia.

Iron – is a component of many proteins. It is a key component of hemoglobin, and enters into the composition of red blood cells and myoglobin, where it has an important function in oxygen transport in muscle tissues. Iron is also found in the so-called active centers of enzymes, which include peroxidase, catalase and cytochromes.

Iron deficiency occurs when the blood does not contain enough red blood cells, and thus there is a low level of hemoglobin, which is the main protein involved in transporting oxygen throughout the body. An important component of hemoglobin is iron. Iron deficiency anemia is common in children and women of all ages, but mainly in women who menstruate (at least 20% of them suffer from iron deficiency). The main symptoms are pallor, feeling tired, headaches, faster heartbeat or shortness of breath when exercising. Low ferritin levels may indicate hypothyroidism, vitamin C deficiency or celiac disease.

 

Product intended for self-monitoring.

HOW DOES THE FERRITIN TEST WORK?

Ferritin is a protein and the primary form of iron stored inside cells. An abnormal result means that the concentration of ferritin in the blood is less than 30ng/ml, which may indicate iron deficiency.

 

WHEN SHOULD THE TEST BE PERFORMED?

A rapid cassette test of ferritin levels can be performed when symptoms such as pallor, feeling of fatigue, headaches, faster heartbeat or shortness of breath during physical exertion occur, mainly in pregnant women or in case of excessive bleeding during menstruation. The test can be performed at any time of the day but must not be performed in cases of illness, acute inflammation or if the spleen or liver is damaged.

 

APPLICATION

  • The test for qualitative determination of ferritin in human blood from the fingertip is designed to detect or exclude the cause of health complaints.
  • Accurate diagnosis makes it possible to implement the most effective forms of therapy, thereby reducing the time needed to cure the patient.
  • The test is designed for screening and serves as an aid in diagnosing iron deficiency.
  • Low ferritin levels can indicate hypothyroidism, vitamin C deficiency or celiac disease. The main symptoms are pallor, a feeling of fatigue, headaches, a faster heartbeat or shortness of breath when exercising.
