Ferritin is an iron-containing protein with electron-dense characteristics, enabling the ultrastructural identification and localization of antigens and antibodies within tissue cells. It holds broad promise for medical and biological research. Clinically, serum ferritin is commonly used to evaluate iron status and diagnose anemia and iron overload. Furthermore, ferritin testing is applied to the research and auxiliary diagnosis of diseases such as adult Still's disease, hemophagocytic syndrome, sideroblastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome classification, Parkinson's disease, coronary heart disease, and breast cancer. It can also serve as a prognostic indicator for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
