I HAVE 621 UG/L FERRITIN LEVEL , IRON 33 UMOL/L AND IRON SATURATION 0.60. I SEE THAT I HAVE AN OVERLOAD IRON LEVEL. MY DOCTOR SAID THAT IS OKAY BUT I AM WORRY BECAUSE THERE ARE ANORMALITY INDEICATED IN MY BLOOD TEST RESULTS. WHAT ADVISE YOU CAN TELL ME TO FOLLOW THESE RESULTS?
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Yes, serum ferritin is increased very much. 2. Increased iron levels usually indicate chronic anemia and hemosiderosis3. As there are no possible infections, hemosiderosis needs to be considered. Evaluation for hyperpigmentation of skin, hepatomegaly and diabetes mellitus is necessary.4. Liver biopsy can be helpful to look for tissue iron and also HE gene evaluation can confirm the diagnosis. Do get the tests done at the earliest as multiple organ involvement can be serious and critical. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
