These two tests should always be done together as ferritin is the storage for iron so doing both, gives us a clear understanding of how you are converting your iron. If your diet lacks iron, your body begins to use its iron storage, making your ferritin levels drop. Ferritin levels can increase when the body absorbs more iron than it needs. Testing these together will show an iron deficiency or an iron excess in which both scenarios can cause inflammation.
