A member asked:

4 weeks post-whipple op for ampullary tumour. ferritin level 6400, iron saturation 90%. slightly deranged aptt (37s). need hematology review or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Congrats!: Glad you are recovering well from the surgery. Ferritin levels can be elevated for 3-4 mos after this kind of surgery just due to the infflammation from surgery. I wouldn't worry about those test results, unless they are that high at 4 months post surg.
