The ferritin levels are usually low due to a poor diet or a diet that lacks iron. However, chrons disease and other underlying medical conditions can also result in low ferritin levels. If you have low ferritin levels then you are recommended to take a diet rich in spinach, and fruits such as bananas and pomegranate.
The normal range for ferritin in your blood serum is 24 to 336 ng/mL for adult males. For adult females. Hence if you have a value of 33 then it falls within the range.
In women of reproductive age, heavy periods and pregnancy are the most common causes of iron deficiency anemia as your body needs extra iron for your baby during pregnancy.
A ferritin level blood test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body stores. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body's iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency.
