A member asked:
My ferritin is low 5.5 and my vitamin b12 is on the end of low but not considered low yet. are they linked together?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Deficiency of iron and B12 could be due to poor dietary intake or malabsorption. It would be prudent to consult a GI specialist for an evaluation. There are many good gastroenterologists at UPMC. Wish you good health.
