Testing glycosylated ferritin to evaluate inflammation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at a blood test called “glycosylated ferritin” to help doctors better identify certain dangerous inflammatory conditions. It may help clarify whether your high iron-related marker is due to inflammation rather than other causes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Doctors suspect a serious infection (sepsis), macrophage activation syndrome, Still’s disease, or another cause of high ferritin.
- You have abnormal ferritin-related blood test results that prompted the suspicion.
- Your ferritin level is not normal (a normal ferritin result would likely exclude you).
- You will likely need blood samples for the study test (glycosylated ferritin).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at patients in the intensive care unit who have severe inflammation and high levels of ferritin, a protein linked to inflammation. It aims to better understand these conditions and how they affect patients.
This study looks at whether certain blood test results can help predict how well people with sepsis will do. Sepsis is a serious infection that can affect the whole body. You may be able to join if you have sepsis and are over 18.
This study looks at blood test “markers” to tell the difference between infection and non-infectious illness. It may help doctors recognize infection earlier and avoid confusion with other conditions.
This trial tests a new way to detect sepsis using fluorescence from a blood sample. It may help doctors identify sepsis earlier and improve treatment.
This trial tests a new blood test called the Sepsis ImmunoScore that may help doctors quickly identify sepsis (a life-threatening infection response). The test looks at your immune system's response to see if you have sepsis, which could help you get treatment faster.
This study measures blood “biomarkers” (signals in blood) to better understand inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions. You may be asked to give blood samples now and possibly extra samples if needed for testing.
