A member asked:

What is cause of low ferritin level of 12 and wbc low end of range 4.5,, wbc always on low end? all other blood work was normal ranges.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, low ferritin indicates deficiency of iron. If the patient has started menstruating, that may be the cause. She should take oral iron supplement and multivitamin. WBC count of 4.5 is in normal range.
