Serum ferritin levels are measured in patients as part of the iron studies workup for anemia and for restless leg syndrome. The ferritin levels measured have a direct correlation with the total amount of iron stored in the body. If ferritin is high there is iron in excess, which would be excreted in the stool. If ferritin is low there is a risk for lack in iron which sooner or later could lead to anemia. Low ferritin levels have been associated with symptoms of restless leg syndrome even in the absence of anemia.
