Ferritin Level Reference Chart
Typical reference ranges for Ferritin across different demographics. Note: Ranges vary significantly by laboratory and assay method.
| Ferritin (µg/L) | Ferritin (ng/mL) | Clinical Context |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 10 | Low (Possible iron deficiency) |
| 30 | 30 | Low-Normal (Borderline iron stores) |
| 100 | 100 | Normal (Healthy iron stores) |
| 300 | 300 | High-Normal / Elevated |
| 500+ | 500+ | High (Check for inflammation or iron overload) |
Ferritin Conversion FAQ
Everything you need to know about converting Ferritin blood test units and understanding your results.
Ferritin levels in micrograms per litre (µg/L) and nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL) are exactly equivalent. The conversion ratio is 1:1. Therefore, a result of 50 µg/L is exactly 50 ng/mL.
Normal Ferritin levels vary by age and biological sex. Generally, for adult males, it ranges from 24 to 336 µg/L (or ng/mL). For adult females, it ranges from 11 to 307 µg/L (or ng/mL). Always refer to your specific laboratory’s reference range.
Both µg/L (micrograms per litre) and ng/mL (nanograms per millilitre) measure the exact same concentration. Different laboratories and countries simply prefer one notation over the other, but the numerical value remains identical.
Low Ferritin typically indicates iron deficiency or iron deficiency anaemia. High Ferritin can indicate inflammation, liver disease, haemochromatosis (iron overload), or other chronic conditions. Always consult a healthcare professional for interpretation.
