High Ferritin Levels
by rockyguffey, Jun 23, 2001 12:00AM
I have just received my blood test results back. The only abnormal result that I got was a ferritin level of 520 NG/ML. This is extremely high from what I can tell. My iron level is 153, and my TIBC is 308. My transferrin saturation is 50%. I am a 40 yr/old male, 6', 190 lbs, good cholesterol and other indicators, and excellent health. I do take a number of supplements, but none of them have any extra iron. I follow the DASH diet on advice of my physician. Not on meds for hypertension. BP 130/80. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
