Serum ferritin level: 181 ug/L [13.0 - 150.0]; High ferritin can indicate true iron overload,inflammation, dyserythropoiesis or liver disease(including increased alcohol intake). Tissueoverload can occur if ferritin exceeds 1000 ug/L.; Above high reference limit
If you could edit your post to show your results as one test - result - range per line it will be easier for members to read and you may get more replies that way. Personally I find it too difficult to read blocks of text where the results all run into each other like that, but if they're one test on one line I'll be happy to respond.

With serum B12 result below 500, (Or active B12 below 70) recommended to be taking a separate B12 supplement and add a separate vitamin B Complex after a week
Then once your serum B12 is over 500 (or Active B12 level has reached 70), you may be able to reduce then stop the B12 and just carry on with the B Complex.
If Vegetarian or vegan likely to need ongoing separate B12 few times a week
IMPORTANT......If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before ALL BLOOD TESTS , as biotin can falsely affect test results
In week before blood test, when you stop vitamin B complex, you might want to consider taking a separate folate supplement (eg Jarrow methyl folate 400mcg) and continue separate B12
Thank you I will read through all the information you have supplied.
i'm still on the same dose of levothyroxine I only take wockhardt (or insist) the other brands make me feel unwell.
I'm not on any vitamins at the moment ,I've tried the vitamin B12 from cytoplan in the past and it sadly upset my stomach I also suffer with Crohn's disease {I'm in remission} I have a lot of symptoms and I do think its down to low vitamin b12 I just need to work out how to solve it.
My dr won't entertain any of it I'm fine as I am apparently (which I am far from fine at the moment)I am looking into changing surgery as it's having a real effect on me this constant fight I have started taking the Bioactive B12 drops and will retest soon thank you for the advice
Vitamin D insufficiency in IBD remains common. Consensus expert opinion has suggested 25(OH)D levels of 75–100 nmol/l may provide optimal benefits for musculoskeletal and cancer outcomes( Reference Souberbielle, Body and Lappe 20 ) and levels of 100–175 nmol/l for optimal immune effects( Reference Cannell and Hollis 113 ). The data reviewed here show evidence of positive associations with levels ≥75 nmol/l in Crohn's disease, and further possible associations with levels ≥100 nmol/l but such associations need validation with well-designed randomised controlled trials.
