Ferritin-to-Albumin Ratio (FAR)

• FAR has emerged as a prognostic marker in various conditions, particularly cancer and liver disease
• It combines information about iron stores (which can reflect inflammation or overload) with albumin (nutritional and synthetic function)
• Elevated FAR is associated with worse outcomes in several malignancies

Ferritin / Albumin

• The Ferritin-to-Albumin Ratio (FAR) is a marker that combines iron storage status with nutritional/inflammatory assessment

• High FAR: May indicate underlying disease progression
• Associated symptoms depend on the primary condition

• High FAR: Cancer, liver disease, chronic inflammation, iron overload with malnutrition.
• Low FAR: Generally indicates better nutritional status and lower disease burden.
