How can you use “ferritin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Several indirect assessment methods are available, among which are measurement of serum ferritin levels, urinary iron excretion, and hepatic iron quantification.
Hemoglobin was 9.3 g/dl, platelets 336,000, reticulocyte count 3.1% and serum ferritin 17 ng/ ml.
Serum iron concentration, transferrin saturation, and serum ferritin concentration were measured using automated clinical methods.
A case-control study in 15 patients treated with deferiprone (cases) and 30 patients treated with desferrioxamine (controls) matched for age and serum ferritin levels, demonstrated that deferiprone appears to be more effective than desferrioxamine in removal of myocardial iron despite significantly higher HIC in the deferiprone group [ 5 ] . Although a larger prospective trial is needed to confirm the results, these findings would suggest that a combination of both drugs may be most beneficial in order to reduce both hepatic and myocardial concentrations of iron.
In the first study, 144 patients with thalassemia major and relatively low serum ferritin concentrations (1,500 - 3,000 ng/mL) were randomized to either deferiprone (n = 71) or desferrioxamine (n = 73) and followed for one year [ 28 ] . Although, the primary efficacy measure was the reduction of serum ferritin, HIC was assessed in a small subgroup of patients willing to undergo repeat liver biopsy: 21 in the deferiprone and 15 in the desferrioxamine group.
