Is serum ferritin too low? 12 ug/l range 12-250ug/l serum folate 19.7 range 4-20ug/l b12 721 range 130-800ng/l serum c r protein <1 range < 7.00mg/l

Low: Ferritin level less than 40 is generally consistent with iron deficiency. It's very likely your doctor will request more tests to determine the cause of low iron count. The rest of the tests are within normal limits.
