Ferritin-to-Albumin Ratio (FAR)
A research-derived ratio combining ferritin and albumin that has been studied as an inflammatory and prognostic marker in specific clinical populations; it is not a routine standalone measure of inflammation.
What is measured?
A calculated value derived from the component biomarkers named in this measure.
What the result represents?
Aden's range
What a raised or a low result can indicate
How Aden reads it as part of a system?
Aden reads this result alongside hsCRP, ESR, fibrinogen, white blood cell differential and your previous measurements. It is treated as one part of the wider inflammation picture, not as a diagnosis on its own.
What changes between tests?
Which related markers give it context?
hsCRP, ESR, fibrinogen, white blood cell differential
How to get this tested?
