Experts Highlight Importance of Ferritin Testing for Detecting Iron Deficiency
Iron deficiency can occur even when hemoglobin levels are normal, a condition known as iron deficiency without anemia. Experts highlight that ferritin, the body's iron storage protein, may deplete before hemoglobin drops, causing symptoms like fatigue, hair loss, and difficulty concentrating. This condition is common in India, especially among women, and can result from factors such as heavy menstrual bleeding or poor iron absorption. Medical professionals recommend checking ferritin levels alongside hemoglobin and addressing underlying causes with diet and healthcare guidance.
