A member asked:
My ferritin shows chronic infection, but where?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ferritin: Serum ferritin levels cannot show infection, whether acute or chronic. This a simple lab value which requires clinical data for any form of interpretation. Stop worrying unless you are having a specific problem. Best wishes.
