A member asked:
Ferritin level at 14. what would you tell a patent about it? is there any other additional tests you would want to do after a ferritin test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low ferritin: Ferritin is the storage form of iron. If you are low in iron, it typically means you are anemic. Either you are not taking in enough iron or you are losing too much As a female, I would ask how heavy are your periods, any change in diet or special diet, any heartburn or change in bowel habits or color of your stool. A cbc is warranted and based off your answers to above, other tests.
