EXPECTED VALUE OF SERUM FERRITIN BY RADIOIMMUNOASSAY: A STUDY IN 80 THAI HEALTHY MALES
Keywords:
ferritin, RIA, expected valueAbstract
Serum ferritin determination is a useful test for determination of iron deficiency. The radioimmunoassay test is a widely used method to determine serum ferritin. Due to the fact that each laboratory should set its own reference value, therefore, we performed this study. Here, we reported the expected range of serum ferritin among 80 healthy Thai subjects. The average level of ferritin was 24.50 ± 9.57 ng/ml. The expected range for our subjects are 22.39 - 26.61 ng/ml.
