Ferritin and iron tracker: see your iron levels over time
Iron stores rarely change overnight. Mediki charts ferritin and the rest of your iron tests from every lab report, so you can see whether levels are building up, holding steady or running down.
Iron tests you can track
- FerritinFerritin measures stored iron in the body.
- IronIron measures circulating iron available for transport and cellular use.
- TransferrinTransferrin measures the main iron-transport protein in blood.
- TIBCTIBC estimates how much iron the blood can bind through transferrin.
- HemoglobinHemoglobin measures the oxygen-carrying protein inside red blood cells.
- CRPCRP measures a protein made by the liver that rises during inflammation.
Why ferritin is worth tracking
Ferritin reflects how much iron your body has stored. Stores usually build up or run down over weeks and months, so comparing several results, for example while taking iron supplements, says more than a single value.
Read iron tests together
Ferritin can rise with inflammation even when iron stores are low, which is why it is often read together with CRP. Serum iron changes during the day, so it is usually interpreted alongside transferrin, TIBC and hemoglobin.

Why track ferritin and not just iron?
Serum iron changes during the day and after meals, while ferritin reflects the iron your body has stored. Doctors usually look at both, together with other iron tests.
Does inflammation affect ferritin?
Yes. Ferritin can rise during inflammation or infection, which can make iron stores look higher than they are. That is why it is often checked together with CRP.
Which iron tests can Mediki track?
Ferritin, serum iron, transferrin and TIBC, along with hemoglobin and the rest of the complete blood count.
