Follow up needed: Hi BMay I understand your concern about the high lactoferrin. This is a difficult lab to interpret without more clinical context, meaning that it, by itself, does not point towards a specific diagnosis. Further work up is likely needed and I would encourage your to follow up with your primary doctor. In the meantime, here is some more info. Hope this helps http://bit.ly/2o2xa5C
