I am 22 years old suffering with hair hall from last 1 1/2 year .A doctor suggested me to go for a cbc test and ferritin level test. I have undergone for this and my feritin level is just 19 only and cbc test results are ok. So I wants to know that its bad or in good condition because I an loosing hair so much day by day and become weaker also. Please suggest me best.

Ferritin isn?t the same thing as iron in your body. Instead, ferritin is a protein that stores iron, releasing it when your body needs it.The greatest concentrations of ferritin are typically in the cells of the liver (known as hepatocytes) and immune system (known as reticuloendothelial cells). Ferritin is stored in the body?s cells until it?s time to make more red blood cells. The body will signal the cells to release ferritin.�While it?s important for a person to have normal iron levels, having enough stored iron is important too. If a person doesn?t have enough ferritin, iron stores can deplete quickly.
