Sažetak

It has been repeatedly described that increased serum ferritin concentration or hyperferritinemia is as- sociated with COVID-19, especially with more severe forms of this disease.
Ferritin is a molecule whose concentration is determined as a marker of reflecting the body’s iron supply and less significantly as a marker of inflammation of infectious and non-infectious origin. The expression of this vital molecule for iron metabolism is therefore regulated, primarily by an iron- dependent mechanism. However, in addition to this regulation, there appears to be feedback between ferritin and cytokines in the control of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators.
This review paper includes basic data on ferritin and the potential causes and consequences of hyper- ferritinemia with implications for COVID-19.
