A member asked:
Is a feratin level of 9 low and if so what could b the reason ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low ferritin: depends on your lab reference. but looks like it is on the low side. this means your iron stores are depleted due to chronic blood loss (menses/or bleed) or lack of absorption due to bariatric surgery
