Testosterone therapy can potentially increase iron levels in the blood, as it may stimulate erythropoiesis (the production of red blood cells), leading to elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. This increase can result in higher serum ferritin and iron levels. However, the extent of this effect can vary among individuals, and regular monitoring of iron levels is recommended for those undergoing testosterone therapy to prevent complications such as hemochromatosis. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and management.
