A member asked:

Can a very high ferritin level make your hb levels high too?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How high is high?: If you serum ferritin is well above the reference range, you have hemochromatosis until proved otherwise. If your personal physician does not know how to handle this, get with a competent hematologist or gastroenterologist.
