A member asked:
What to do if i have low ferritin of 4 an hb of 9 is this an issue ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low Ferritin Level: Both your ferritin (iron stores) and your hemoglobin are low. Have you had blood loss? Is this a new issue for you? If you do not know why your levels are low, then you need to work with a doctor to figure that out. Ferritin should be at least 40 for fatigue, and 60 if you have restless legs syndrome.
