Ferritin/CRP Ratio
The ferritin/CRP ratio helps separate true iron overload from inflammation-driven ferritin elevation, since ferritin is both an iron storage protein and an acute phase reactant. A low ratio (high CRP, moderately high ferritin) suggests inflammation, while a high ratio (high ferritin, low CRP) is more consistent with actual iron accumulation. Useful in chronic disease workups.

What is Ferritin/CRP Ratio?
The ferritin/CRP ratio helps separate true iron overload from inflammation-driven ferritin elevation, since ferritin is both an iron storage protein and an acute phase reactant. A low ratio (high CRP, moderately high ferritin) suggests inflammation, while a high ratio (high ferritin, low CRP) is more consistent with actual iron accumulation. Useful in chronic disease workups.
Why It Matters
Helps distinguish true iron storage from inflammation-driven ferritin elevation. High ferritin with high CRP suggests inflammation rather than iron overload. Useful for assessing iron status in the context of chronic disease.
