The concentration of ferritin in serum gives a quantitative measure of the amount of storage iron in normal subjects and those with iron deficiency or overload. The mean level in normal men is 69 ng/ml, compared with 35 ng/ml in normal women. A concentration below 10 ng/ml is associated with a low transferrin saturation and iron-deficient erythropoiesis.
血清中铁蛋白的浓度可定量测定正常受试者以及缺铁或铁过载者体内储存铁的含量。正常男性的平均水平为69纳克/毫升,而正常女性为35纳克/毫升。浓度低于10纳克/毫升与转铁蛋白饱和度低及缺铁性红细胞生成有关。
