A member asked:
My haptoglobin was high (2.5 g/l) on latest bloodwork is this serious?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Haptoglobin: Are you sure you got the units right? Normal levels are around 40-170 mg per deciliter. If I convert your units you are 0.25 mg/dl. Extremely low and very unlikely. Various hemolytic anemias can cause low levels.

Could be: related to inflammation. As haptoglobin is also an acute phase reactant, which means the levels can rise with increasing inflammation in your body.

Whats high haptoglobin mean? Feeling sick
What can cause elevated haptoglobin?
My haptoglobin level is elevated, at 2.65 g/L (ref. 0.17-2.00). Is this in and of itself a cause for concern (e.g. cancer)? I have also been experiencing low iron/hemoglobin/hematocrit for some time. Kidney/liver function normal. GI tract is clear.
What does it mean when your ferritin is 944 (high), Iron sat 9 (low), iron 27 (borderline low), TIBC 316 (normal); hemoglobin/hematocrit 9.7/29.2 (low), RBC 3.17 (low), platelets 534 (high)? My haptoglobin was also high, retic count high but ldh low?
Can I possibly have hemolytic anemia with normal reticulocytes and ldh, but no haptoglobin, high mchc plus low alpha 2 globulin? Currently I have ITP and very low lymphocyte count. Symptoms include shortness of breath, SVT episodes, fatigue?
