\ud83d\udd2cFerritin is the main indicator of iron stores in the body; it plays an important role in maintaining iron in a biologically useful form.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd2cFerritin is a complex water-soluble protein complex consisting of 24 identical subunits and capable of attaching about 4,500 iron atoms to one molecule, which is associated with its biological function: the deposition of iron (toxic and non-toxic, physiologically available form for the body).
\nA fully iron-saturated ferritin molecule contains iron up to 271% of its molecular weight.
\nFerritin is synthesized by cells of various tissues, as it is present in all cells and fluids of the body: liver, spleen, bone marrow, heart muscle, lungs, kidneys, thyroid gland, placenta, small intestine, pancreas.<\/p>\n
\u2b06\ufe0fElevated ferritin levels may indicate an acute or chronic inflammatory process that interferes with oxygen transport and disrupts red blood cell function.<\/p>\n
\u2b07\ufe0fA low level of ferritin indicates chronic iron deficiency - anemia.<\/p>\n
\u2757\ufe0fIn COVID-19, caused by coronavirus infection, oxygen transport is impaired, which in turn affects the course of the disease. Increased ferritin levels play a significant role in the severity of the disease.
\n\ud83d\udccdExtremely high levels of ferritin contribute to the development of respiratory failure - acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in which the patient may be prescribed a ventilator (MVL).<\/p>\n
