Ferritin test

I thought that I’d already posted this, but obviously didn’t 🤪 My ferritin level after iron infusion went up to 544 (>300) Have just had another test and it’s dropped to 276 (>300) Is this normal or is it going down too quickly only a couple of months, if that, between tests

I wanted to know what would have prompted these prescriptions and what form it was given. I have symptoms which I think could be caused by low ferritin

I would just like to know my actual iron levels not guided by ferritin alone my gp says ferritin test tells you status of iron

Must test ferritin level. Wish drs were more knowledgeable about RLS. Going to try to sleep again. Good night.

I’ve never had a ferritin test, should I?

The last comparison was to test ferritin on 16th Dec, all using venous draw, by same nurse at same time and send 3 samples off to 3 labs - 1 x NHS, 1 TDL (medichecks) and 1 County. To me County's results are a bit all over the shop.

I’ve just received the results of an iron deficiency test which I completed following advice regarding my high levels of ferritin in a previous ultravit test. Although my ferritin levels are still high it would appear that the other markers are all within range.

Hi I had a fullblood test done everything came back normal. Apart from ferritin levels which 250 . Doctor wants me to have them retaken on Friday. Should I be concerned at all ?

I’ve been feeling dreadful through January and asked for another blood test. Ferritin now 32 but still too low - should be about 100 to feel good.. I contacted dr again who put me on supplements. Has anyone else had this problem?
