Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.
Low ferritin is indicator of your low iron stores. It indicates that you are at risk of Iron deficiency anemia.
The total iron and iron binding capacity are affected later whwn the ferritin stores get depleted the maximum level.
As you are having other parameters in normal range there is no reason to get panic.
You just need to increase the iron intake in your diet so the depleted stores can be restored to the required level.
