Hi Julia, I’m not familiar with ferritin so I looked it up. There’s a good article about it on webmd. I’m interested to hear what your dr has to say. Hope you have a restful night 🤗

My hematologist checks it regularly. It's because of my RA and I am curious if anyone else has this same condition.

Yeah looking it up I mean unless you have other disease processes going on and it’s mot controlled?

Julie that is a question for your physician only and not to be addressed on here. It is much too complicated and medical and it is not only about inflammation addressing RA but other diseases as well. I found a concise definition.
Ferritin is the cellular storage protein for iron. It is present in small concentrations in blood, and the serum ferritin concentration normally correlates well with total-body iron stores, making its measurement important in the diagnosis of disorders of iron metabolism. That’s about it.
