New to this forum and recent blood tests showed ferritin levels to be 1120ug/l which I feel is very high. I have been unable to see my GP for advice as of yet so hoping for some here. I have never been diagnosed with liver problems although I have heart disease and am on the usual meds for that. Mild though rairly constant tummy pain for a few years but had an MRI and no problems found. Also on Apixiban for recent Afib so not sure if that has any input into Ferritan levels. Recently developed a random body itch which can present anywhere on my body. Anxiety is kicking in so advice would be appreciated.

The might be haemochromatosis. But check this with GP of course. It is a long shot for now.
"Ireland has the highest rates of haemochromatosis in the world, where approximately 1 in 83 people are at risk of developing haemochromatosis and 1 in 5 are carrriers of the gene."
I agree with MINTVCX this might be hemochromatosis and would impact the liver. I am speaking from experience. It is easily dealt with once you know you've got it.
