Ferritin
Ferritin is a clinical biomarker on the Liver panel, reported in ng/mL. Standard reference range: Male 38–380 · Female 16–154 ng/mL. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 45–110 ng/mL.
What is Ferritin?
Ferritin is the primary intracellular iron storage protein; serum ferritin reflects total body iron stores but also functions as an acute-phase reactant, rising with inflammation.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (ng/mL) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | Male 38–380 · Female 16–154 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 45–110 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Ferritin
SomaVue maps every result for Ferritin against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
