Hiya My question what can make ferritin rise? I've always had trouble trying to raise ferritin in the past so had to take iron tablets I got it up over many months to 88. But I have had no supplements for a long while now and I dont eat meat infact my diet and
weight loss is not good atm it hasnt been since lockdown started but I cant understand my ferritin is creeping up quite quickly not over range but at its highest without the supplements its now shot from 148ng/mo to 180ng/ml since Sept range 15-300 I'd be happy with it if I knew I'd been on a iron rich diet anyone any ideas ?
Yes it's very strange but I ask for full iron test but my GP says it's all fine by these results being as I had to take supplements for ages to get it to 88
Thank You SlowDragon I'll read up on it atm I'm was taking 100 to 125 now I'm dropping to alternate days as t4 slightly over but T3 top of range suppressed tsh as usual! Interesting I do have some slight mitral valve regurgitation I'm due for another ECG I think just to check it but my Cardio at the time nothing to worry about my heart is strong or something like that
Yes I'm okay with vit d folate going up slowly now my B12 will be good on injections ove not had a iron panel done since 2015 when it all started.. I'm well over menopause too! My Gp says looking at all my full blood count results my iron is okay Thank You for your replys
