Abstract
The serum of ferritin used as biomarker of different diseases. This paper aimed at studying the possibility of using ferritin on diagnosing diseases. To accomplish that, random sample of subjects included in this research. The results showed that the serum of ferritin can be used as a biomarker of some diseases, while in some cases it did not reflect the disease level. The study recommended that the use of ferritin serum level can be used as first indicator for diseases but still deep diagnosis required to complete the disease level of patients.
Keywords: Serum ferritin, biomarkers, chronic diseases.
