What level should ferritin be in the body?
The normal level of ferritin varies between men and women: The lower the ferritin level, even within the "normal" range, the more likely it is that the patient does not have enough iron. Once the level dips below this range they are classified as being anemic and should see a hemotologist and a gastroenterologist for additional diagnostic tests and treatment. Normal ferritin levels follow: Male: 12-300 ng/mL Female: 12-150 ng/mL Note: ng/ml = nanograms per milliliter http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003490.htm

Ferritin level tells the amount of iron in your blood. Ferritin is stored in red blood cells, so I guess you could call it "backup iron." Male: 12-300 ng/mL Female: 12-150 ng/mL That's a big range, so your physician may want to supplement your iron even though it's within the normal range.

How do you convert nanograms per milliliter to micrograms per deciliter?
1 nanogram (ng) = 0.001 microgram (ug). 1 milliliter (mL) = 0.01 deciliter (dL) (ng / mL) * (ug / ng) * (mL / dL) = ug / dL Therefore, 1 ng / mL = (1 ng / mL) * (0.001 ug / ng) * (mL / 0.01 dL) = 0.1 ug / dL
Your ferritin level is 1286 is this bad?
You *definitely* need to follow up with an MD, even if you feel fine. According to WebMD, "Very high ferritin levels (greater than 1,000 ng/mL) can mean a large buildup of iron in the body (hemochromatosis)." Its a common genetic disorder than can greatly increase the risk of a whole host of serious diseases if not treated. My niece's husband received treatments for this. DO NOT try to self-treat with supplements.

Cotinine levels <10 ng/mL are considered to be consistent with no active smoking.

In urine, values between 11 ng/mL and 30 ng/mL may be associated with light smoking or passive exposure, and levels in active smokers typically reach 500 ng/mL or more.
