A member asked:

My sister is almost 15, and her ferritin level is 5.93 ng/ml and her hemoglobin is 11.5 g/dl and everything else is good why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A little low: I'm going to assume she has been getting her period for at least several months. She is likely iron deficient for this reason and her physician may advise a modest iron supplement perhaps with a vitamin. This is actually between your sister and her physician and it's likely she has already discussed this.
