Safe ferritin levels generally fall within specific ranges, but these ranges differ slightly between males and females. According to lab standards, here's a breakdown:
Gender | Normal Ferritin Range (ng/mL) |
---|---|
Males | 12 - 300 |
Females | 12 - 150 |
Therefore, ferritin levels within these ranges are typically considered safe. These ranges can vary slightly depending on the specific laboratory. It is important to discuss your specific results with your healthcare provider.
