| PRODUCT NAME: | Ferritin |
| INTENDED USE: | Ferritin is an ELISA test system for the quantitative measurement of ferritin in human serum or plasma. |
| PRODUCT OVERVIEW: | 20% of the human iron (total: 4-5g) is reversely bound to ferritin as an intracellular storage protein. The remaining iron is bound to hemoglobin (60%) and myoglobin or enzymes (20%). Ferritin is found intracellular and in the blood stream. It is a reliable parameter to determine the iron concentration in the body. Serum ferritin concentrations remain constant during the biorhythm; in contrast to the alternating iron values. Ferritin values depend of the patient's age and sex. Regular losses of blood or blood donation decrease the ferritin values. The determination of serum ferritin is an important parameter for the diagnosis and therapy control of an iron deficiency. Negative iron-balance decreases the ferritin value. Ferritin contents below 12 ng/ml indicate a manifested iron-deficiency. |
