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.

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.

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

Hi my RLS has been really bad these last months . I asked the doctor to check my iron but the only thing I can see in the results relating to iron is Serum Ferritin and it is 18 ug/L . Would this be the reason my legs are bad at the moment ? any advice appreciated

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.
