infections, late-stage cancers, lymphomas, and severe inflammations. Alcoholics often have high ferritin levels.
Anaemia can be associated with low ferritin and high Folate levels.
Have ferritin level of 587 & a fatty liver & cholesterol of 6.9
you may have hereditry hemochromatosis
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.
Yes
Routine tests with high ferritin levels can be an indication of an iron storage disorder. One such disorder is hemochromatosis. This is a genetic disorder that results in iron-overload in the body.
If ferritin is high, there is iron in excess or else there is an acute inflammatory reaction in which ferritin is mobilized without iron excess. For example, ferritins may be high in infection without signalling body iron overload.Ferritin is also used as a marker for iron overload disorders, such as hemochromatosis or hemosiderosis. Adult-onset Still's disease, porphyria, and Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis are diseases in which the ferritin level may be abnormally raised. As ferritin is also an acute-phase reactant, it is often elevated in the course of disease. A normal C-reactive protein can be used to exclude elevated ferritin caused by acute phase reactions.According to a study of anorexia nervosa patients, ferritin can be elevated during periods of acute malnourishment
I don't know. Sorry.
A ferreting blood test tests for the levels of ferreting in the blood. Ferreting is an iron storing protein, and high levels of this protein can be indicative of an iron storing disorder in the body.
Because Alcohol has a very high amount of calories.
