A ferritin level blood test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body stores. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body's iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency.

Why is my ferritin level extremely low? How can I fix it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

For the past one and a half years, I have experienced joint pain and swelling near my wrists. Earlier blood tests confirmed that I was RA positive, and I underwent treatment for arthritis. Recently, after consulting an orthopaedic specialist, my new blood report shows that RA is now negative, but my ASO titre is elevated at 782. Is this condition curable?
