The normal range for ferritin levels in blood varies depending on sex, as detailed below:
| Group | Normal Ferritin Range (ng/mL) |
|---|---|
| Male | 30 to 400 |
| Female | 13 to 150 |
These values indicate the typical amount of ferritin found in a healthy individual's blood sample. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron, so measuring its level helps assess the body's iron stores. According to the reference provided (dated January 30, 2024), even if a person's ferritin level falls within the normal range, a lower level might suggest that they don't have enough iron. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate interpretation of test results.
