Normal ferritin levels vary based on age and sex, with ferritin being a protein that stores iron. The amount of ferritin in your blood reflects your body's iron stores.
Here's a breakdown of normal ferritin ranges:
Normal Ferritin Ranges by Group
| Group | Normal Ferritin Range (ng/mL) |
|---|---|
| Adult Males | 24 to 336 |
| Adult Females | 24 to 307 |
| Newborns | 25 to 200 |
It's important to note that these ranges can vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the specific testing methods used. Consult with a healthcare professional for accurate interpretation of your individual ferritin levels.
