Ferritin is a blood protein that stores iron inside your cells. A ferritin test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood, which reflects how much iron your body has stored. It is one of the most useful indicators of your body's total iron reserves. This test is commonly used to help evaluate the amount of iron stored in the body. Low ferritin can indicate iron deficiency, while high ferritin can point to iron overload or may occur with inflammation, infection, or certain other conditions. It is often ordered when someone has anemia or symptoms such as fatigue, or to monitor known iron-related conditions.

Guides about Ferritin

Plain-English explanations of what this test measures and how it's done.

What blood tests do bodybuilders track?
The blood tests most often discussed in bodybuilding and strength communities fall into four groups: hormones (total and free testosterone, estradiol, SHBG, LH and FSH), general health panels (CBC and CMP), heart and metabolic markers (lipid panel, ApoB, A1c, fasting insulin), and thyroid, iron and vitamin markers. Hard training changes some of these numbers by itself, which matters when comparing results over time.

Ferritin: common questions

How much does a Ferritin test cost without insurance?

The lowest self-pay price we track for Ferritin is $8.19 at Mito Health, across 17 ordering services; the highest is $59.00. You pay the ordering service directly, and no insurance is involved. Prices were last verified on September 28, 2026.

Do you need a doctor's order for a Ferritin test?

No. Every ordering service listed on this page includes the physician order with the purchase, so you can buy Ferritin yourself and take the requisition to the lab. Your results come back to you — what they mean is a conversation for you and a clinician.

Where is the blood drawn for a Ferritin test?

At a Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp patient service center, depending on which laboratory the ordering service you pick uses. You choose the location and time after you order. LabTestCompare does not draw blood, run tests, or issue results — we only compare what each service charges.

Can you use health insurance for a Ferritin test?

No. Every price on this page is a self-pay price paid directly to the ordering service, and none of these services bill insurance. If you want Ferritin billed through your plan instead, that goes through your own provider — which is a separate route with its own cost, and worth comparing against the prices here.

Is this the same Ferritin test a doctor would order?

Yes — it is the same assay, identified by the same laboratory order codes: Quest #457 and LabCorp #004598. Every price on this page is matched to that code, which is how we can say the services are being compared on an identical test rather than on similarly named products.

How long do Ferritin results take?

That is set by the laboratory rather than by us. Routine blood tests are commonly back within a few business days and specialized assays take longer; the ordering service states the expected turnaround for Ferritin before you buy, and delivers the result to you directly.
