Iron studies from 3/30 shows elevated ferritin 317 (16-228) tibc 488 (250-450) iron 113 (45-160) and saturation 23 (16-45). had 2 iron infusions in dec why would tibc and ferritin be elevated? tibc was 654, ferritin 45 prior to iron?

Ferritin rises after a transfusion - decreases over several weeks, it was ok before the infusion. Arthritis/ hyperthyroidism / liver disease/hemochromatosis can increase ferritin. Transferrin is high when there is iron deficiency anemia. It seems yours is coming down. What was your blood count and red cell indices (MCHC ,MCV ) ,before the transfusion and what is it now? Check for thalassemia.
