How come my ferritin level is 7 and my iron level 135 can you explain why i am so tired if my iron level is so high?
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron. Low ferritin is a precursor to anemia, so if you do nothing about the low ferritin level your iron level will eventually drop.
What diseases are associated with very low ferritin and very high folate?
Anaemia can be associated with low ferritin and high Folate levels.
What will happen if you have a low ferritin?
It means your iron levels are low. If can cause dizziness and fatigue. You should take extra iron and seek to address the cause of the low iron.
Is 47 an ok measure of ferritin levels?
Usually, yes. Most labs list about 10-300 as the normal ferritin level. Inflammation can raise the level even if the iron is low so it is helpful to also check iron and TIBC (total iron binding capacity).
What is the significance of low ferritin and high red blood cell count?
I don't know. Sorry.
What is considered a low iron count?
A low iron count is typically defined as a serum ferritin level below 15-30 ng/mL in adults. However, the specific cutoff for what is considered low iron can vary depending on the laboratory reference ranges. Symptoms of low iron may include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath. If you suspect you have low iron, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Is an iron level of 23 low?
Ferritin Range (should be) 15-150 Iron Range 35-180 TIBC Range 280-380 Hemoglobin 11.5-16.0 Hematocrit 34.5-47.0 Depending on the lab that is probably low. A better indicator would be the iron/ TIBC ratio or iron saturation.
What is the normal range of ferritin?

Is low blood pressure the same as low iron?
No. Blood pressure is an actual pressure; it's usually measured in mmHg, but it COULD be measured in kilopascals or pounds per square inch. "Low iron" generally refers to the measurement of a protein called ferritin, and is usually measured in ng/mL.
