A member asked:
Mom is high in ferratin, had hematoma on theigh from angio for her heart, used iron pills for low blood, now hemoglobine is normal but high ferratin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High ferritin: Ferrtin is the body storage of reserve iron. If iron gets to low then iron deficiency anemia occurs because iron is necessary to make hemoglobin. When oral iron is taken then when absorbed it raises the storage iron of ferritin. Consult your doctor to see about modifying the dose of iron if the serum ferritin gets to high.
