Ferritin levels are elevated in inflammatory conditions, including chronic kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune disorders, and cancer. See your physician for an exam and additional testing, or get a referral to a hematologist for more detailed analysis.

Both ferritin and B12 may be elevated in persons with inflammation, especially chronic inflammation. Talk to the doctor who ordered these tests as s/he knows more about your health.
