“Check out the newly published evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for diagnosing iron deficiency from the American Society of Hematology.
The updated ferritin thresholds for diagnosis of iron deficiency:
- Ferritin 30 ng/mL or lower for adults, menstruating or pregnant individuals; 50 ng/mL or lower for certain high-risk groups
- Ferritin below 100 ng/mL OR TSAT under 20% for adults with anemia of inflammation.”
