Should I be concerned

[Deb59]

Hi, I have just received results of my blood test and note that my serum folate and ferritin are high. I am hypothyroid and have b12 jabs. Should I be concerned or is this normal due to hashi thyroid problems?

Ferritin 174 (13-150)

Iron 27 (6.6-26)

Folate 45.4 (10.4 - 42.4)

Thanks 😊

I'm not a doctor so get their advice as well but have had this condition for 23yrs. I would advise get tested again in a month & compare. If it is increasing you'll want keep eye on it. You are so borderline now that not sure they would go off 1 test? But I would advise you monitor regularly & if steadily increasing possibly consider phlebotomy !??! Good luck

My experience is do your research & be your own best advocate. Find being "bossy" has to be done sometimes too.
