A member asked:

Is it normal for ferritin levels to fluctuate in post menopausal women or do they remain constant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fluctuate: Ferritin is an acute phase reactant and levels can vary considerably even in the absence of illness. The key is that very high or very low levels do assist greatly with diagnosis of iron-related illness, and it's useful in monitoring response to treatment for hemochromatosis.
