Can this test diagnose iron-deficiency anaemia?
No. It can indicate low ferritin levels, but diagnosis of anaemia requires a full blood test performed by a healthcare professional.

Can I use this if I’m pregnant?
Yes, but pregnant individuals should confirm any concerns about iron levels with their healthcare provider.

What should I do if my ferritin level appears low?
Seek medical advice for confirmatory blood testing and appropriate treatment options.

Certain medical conditions or acute inflammation may influence ferritin levels. Consult a healthcare professional if unsure.
