What do Ferritine, T4, & Calcium tests lead to? i.e: if we received bad results on these tests, what does it mean? Thank you

Kindly let me know if the exact values you have (ie too high or too low) so I can explain them within context. Also if you have any medical condition or you're on medication/treatment of any kind, let me know as well. Thanks.

Serum ferritin levels are measured as part of the iron studies workup for anemia and for restless legs syndrome. The ferritin levels measured usually have a direct correlation with the total amount of iron stored in the body
T4 (thyroxine) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. A laboratory test can be done to measure the amount of T4 in your blood.
A blood calcium test is ordered to screen for, diagnose, and monitor a range of conditions relating to the bones, heart, nerves, kidneys, and teeth. The test may also be ordered if a person has symptoms of a parathyroid disorder, malabsorption, or an overactive thyroid
SO if they are ordered all together they may reflect a thyroid disorder that may present with thyroxin abnormal levels ,anemia and calcium abnormalities ,or parathyroid disorder ,
calcium with vitamin D abnormal tests may reflect a bone weakness or calcium misabsorption problem
And as DR Dimassi mentioned depending on the levels high or low they will reflect a specific problem the above are general interpretations
