Your ferritin level of 13 ng/mL is moderately low (normal: 20–250 ng/mL). This indicates iron deficiency, meaning your body's iron stores are depleted. If untreated, this will lead to iron deficiency anemia. Symptoms include fatigue, hair thinning, brittle nails, and difficulty concentrating. Causes include heavy menstrual bleeding, poor dietary intake, or gastrointestinal blood loss. Schedule a doctor's appointment to begin iron supplementation and identify the cause.
This level indicates a significant abnormality requiring medical evaluation within days. Further diagnostic testing is recommended.
