Ferritin being high can be associated with inflammation. More details are needed. See a doctor that can see all the lab results

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, ferritin is usually elevated in patients with inflammation and is not a reliable marker for leukemia. Wish you good health!
