Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in cells, including red blood cells. Measuring ferritin levels can provide an indirect measure of stored iron in the body. CBC (A) measures various components of the blood, including red blood cells, but does not directly measure iron levels. MCHC (B) is a measure of the concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells, and does not directly measure iron levels. PRBC (C) stands for packed red blood cells and refers to a blood transfusion product, and is not a measure of iron levels.
