Experiences with

Ferritin test

I just wondered if anyone has ever used one of these, you collect enough blood in the little pippette tube, add the blood to a test cassette, add the buffer liquid, wait for 5 minutes. If two lines come up ferritin levels are above 30, if only one line, that suggests iron deficiency. They claim if done

Ferritin test results serum ferritin level 7 ug/L (12.0 - 233.0) what does it mean?

Should I push for a Trans ferritin saturation test? What value would it add? Thanks in advance

Per recommendations of Sue, Jools and others I contacted my Dr to request a Ferritin test. Haven’t heard back yet but I found labs that were done in 2019. My ferritin level was 34 at that time.

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

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.

My ferritin test result is 24 (10-300) Nice guidelines say under 30 can have iron infusion? Should I push for that? I picked up my T3 prescription and was planning on splitting them but they are 10mcg capsules.Roma is the brand.

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

hello, this is my ferritin level from my medichecks test. Is this ok?

She asked me to get a Ferritin test done, which I did last week. My levels came back at 120. I'm really at my wits end, so any feedback/ thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Last week I had a private MMH test (venous draw) showing ferritin of 84. A week later my GP tested my blood and ferritin was 64. It’s so disheartening because I’ve no way of knowing which test to rely on now. If MMH is supposed to use NHS labs then how are the results so different? Many thanks!

ferritin I’ve requested GP to run full iron test in 2 weeks time as part of my bloods for thyroid med review! Been on 25mg of Levo for 2.5 months and thyroid levels being reviewed . Currently classed as subclinical autoimmune thyroid. see profile for info.

As I mentioned before I have a monthly blood test. This time I asked for details regarding my ferritin levels. At my previous test it was 144. I believe that's a good reading. Thanks

should iron and ferretin be fasting or non fasting ? Benefit?

My ferritin test from about a month ago was 200ug/l & had previously been about 250ug/l. I did start regular b12 jabs around the time of the 250 test,so that might account for the ferritin drop (making new red blood cells etc..)

medichecks test done last July showed ferritin at 25.9 (30-300) TSH 0.796 (027-4.2) T3. 3.9 (3.1-6.8) Ft 21.1 (12- 22) Starting taking ferrous fumarate Then test September nhs ferritin 33 (10-300.)

test as well, but they forgot to add it.

They tested more back in July than this time, I'm not sure why so slightly more limited results below: TSH - 0.31 mu/L (0.30-4.20) Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies - didn't test Ferritin- didn't test Follate - 6.1 ug/L (3.0-20.0) Vitamin B12 - 455 ng/L (180-640) Vitamin D - 47.6 nmol/L (>50.00)
