What Is Dangerously Low Ferritin Levels
Dangerously low ferritin levels indicate a severe iron deficiency, potentially leading to anaemia. Symptoms can include fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Ferritin, a protein that stores iron, should be monitored through blood tests. Treatment may involve iron supplements or dietary changes to rectify the dangerously low ferritin levels.
