Experiences with

Ferritin blood test

i asked my endo for ferritin blood work along with CRP- hs She wants to know why i am requesting CRP test, also crp is not covered by the insurance. How do i explain?

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.

I have a follow up telephone appointment next week to discuss recent blood test results as requested by GP due to abnormal lipid (triglycerides ) and ferritin levels which have been elevated on a few occasions prior too.

My doctor wants to know the ferritin story re blood test and RLS. Thank you as always.

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.

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?

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

A Haematologist appears to have ignored my recent blood test results after I went to see him in the belief my serum iron is too low but ferritin levels are above reference range. I do not understand the implication of this nor the impact of ferritin upon iron levels.

Recent blood test shows Ferritin 88 (30 to 400) Folate 4.7 (3.89 to 26.8 Could this be why I’m itching my arms every night driving me nuts. Dr is happy with my results, cannot find a reason for this itch. How do I increase these levels please, many thanks

I have the 6 week blood test tomorrow first thing alongside ferritin blood test. When results come through should I expect an increase in dose or a battle? Sorry so longwinded I hope I make some sense been wanting to ask advice but fatigue gets the better of me some days worse than others.

Where is the best place to buy a blood test that will cover B12, folate, ferritin and vitd? Can’t seem to find one that covers them all but also entirely possible it’s me being dim lol Thanks, GTS🦭

I have an appointment with a GP tomorrow and will be discussing getting my ferritin levels up, a recent blood test had them at 37.5ug/L. I’m interested in people’s experiences of side effects when coming off this drug.

I had a blood test for ferritin in September 2023 which showed 91 ug/L (23-400), my TSH was <0.02mU/L (0.30-4.50), T3 11.5pmol/L (3.1-6.8), T4 26.4 pmol (11-22).

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

My AST and all other liver blood tests were all normal. Bone blood test normal, Ferritin levels normal and FBC normal. I now have to go for a liver ultrasound on Monday coming, has anyone else ever had this before?

Blood test in September showed he is low in ferritin and diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. Results were at 9. The normal range is 30-150. His MCV was slightly below too. He was prescribed a ferritin supplement for 3 months, he took it for 5 weeks then refused.

If you have elderly relatives with dementia- ensure that doctors look out for signs of RLS and test for low serum ferritin.

I have some past and previous blood results, but I can't make heads nor tales of them. Of course, Doc is saying 'normal' (rolls eyes!)

After 2/3 weeks a blood test revealed my ferritin level had shot up from 47 to over 700, but after 6 weeks I began to suspect it wasn't going to work for me.

However, a new iron levels check has shown my serum ferritin level to be very low (12). I’m now taking iron sulphide, 3 x 200mg tabs / day - hope that will build levels up!
