Ferritin blood test

Hi guys, Had a blood test at my GP after a 3 month course of 305mg Ferrous Fumarate and got results this morning Serum ferritin level: 30 ng/ml [30 - 150]; Note raised CRP. The Ferritin value may be lower than this once; the acute phase response is over.; Ferritin 15-30ug/L may suggest depletion of

Our Doctor recently did a B12 and Ferritin blood test and is now demanding that we stop self injecting with immediate effect to prevent B12 toxicity….. Has anyone ever heard of this and if not, how do we deal with this?

Hello everyone I have just had a ferritin blood test and been a bit blown away by the result. It was a staggering 155 with a range of 13-150. I haven’t achieved such giddy heights since childhood. It means that the ferrous fumarate is working.

Recently had an iron panel and ferritin blood test with following results.

I went to the Haematologist to discuss the return of my iron deficiency symptoms and was recommended a scan of my liver to explain raised ferritin levels, which subsequently excluded a fatty liver being the cause of my raised ferritin blood test results.

Serum Ferritin level blood test has come back showing at 15 ug/l - is this low? Doctor saying it is low normal rangeand not normally consdered as iron deficiency - but am presenting symptoms and thought range was 15.0 - 300.0 ug/L. Advise needed please.

(Blood test 4 days ago: ferritin 6, Iron 3.8) Im considering doubling the dose.

just had blood tests done because I have pain in my right pelvic area. Come back with high ferritin. Mines 200 and should be below 150. I googled it and don’t really understand it. Can’t get an appointment with GP for 3 weeks so has anyone on here ever had this result. I’m a bit anxious about it.

Hi, I was prescribed Ferrous Fumarate after my last bloods showed very low in ferritin levels (I'm Hashi's). I'm due my follow up routine blood test for thyroid levels and ferritin / iron next week. Do I need to stop taking the Ferrous Fumarate ahead of the blood test? Thanks so much

Opinions please on low ferritin. Had a blood test last week to rule out CA and my ferritin level is 11. Range is 10 - 150. I have several symptoms of iron deficiency and just wondering if it is actually too low. GP states that is still in range. Any thoughts please?

I’m just wondering how long to stop my vitamin B complex before my blood test. I’ve read it can affect folate, ferritin and thyroid blood tests and don’t want to waste my medichecks blood test . What would be the minimum, a week? , or it is it better to have a longer gap for accuracy.

This is my first post in this part of Health Unlocked after 15 months in the British Heart Foundation section. In 2014, I had a nasty insect bite when working next to our Atomic Weapons Establishment (!). This was more a chew than a tick bite but I had symptoms similar to Lyme Disease (exhaustion,

Hi, I had my blood test results back today and my serum ferritin is 30ug/L. No TSAT. Results tho. I've been prescribed ferrous sulphate 200mg. Not sure what 30ug/L means though can anyone enlighten me?

With regard to iron, there is really only one correct way to test a patient's four iron levels. This information is from The Johns Hopkins University & Medical Center in Maryland, USA. Listed below are the four iron parameters, the "normal" limits for men and women, and the recommended levels for RLS

HOW TO HAVE YOUR IRON STATUS CHECKED IRON INFORMATION FOR RLS PATIENTS As we know, low iron in the brain is one of the two major causes of Restless Leg Syndrome. (The other is a dopamine imbalance in the brain. In any event, RLS occurs in the brain - it is manifested in the limbs.) With regard

I live in France and so therefore cannot obtain private blood test results for Folate, B12, and Ferritin without catching a ferry and returning to the UK which I am too ill to do at present. I do however have a full blood count from a few months ago.

Another blood test result was abnormal for Serum Ferritin levels. Has anyone else had experience of these? x

Recent blood test shows ferritin at 98, iron binding saturation at 37, serum iron 19.1. Cholesterol has risen from 3.4 when tested 5 yrs ago to 6 now. Feel overwrought and saddened by what has become of my life.

My blood test for ferritin is 44 ug/L & it is only that high because I ate red meat I did do in desperation because the test last year was 10ug/L. I am vegetarian & I have great difficulty eating meat it seems to be hard to process for me.

(I have just been for a blood test to check ferritin, folate, D3 and will get the results mid-week) It is possible that this is hormonal as I am peri-menopausal and on HRT. Does anyone have any knowledge/ insight regarding prolonged anxiety/panic after B12 injections?
