- Objective: To assess the serum ferritin importance in children of iron deficiency anemia according to other indices. Study Design: A cross-sectional Study Place and Duration: The study was performed in the Pediatric Unit I of Nishter Hospital, Multan for the period of 1 year from November 2015 to November 2016 Methods: Children were selected as anemic and anemic based on hemoglobin (10 g / dl) and ferrine saturation (15%). Morphology of red blood cells, serum iron, hemoglobin, transferrin saturation TIBC and serum ferritin were recorded. Findings: The red blood cells morphology was very poor. Hemoglobin, transferrin saturation serum iron and serum ferritin in children are lower. There was a positive correlation between age and serum ferritin, serum iron, hemoglobin, a negative correlation and transferrin saturation with TIBC. Conclusion: Serum ferritin was a more sensitive and important indicator than transferrin saturation, TIBC and serum iron. Key Words: serum ferritin, iron deficiency anemia,
