Ferritin Levels
Dr. says my levels are high, they are not sure why? Gastro is next Dr.
Anyone have any experience with this? And liver enzymes elevated.
T.I.A.

Re: Ferritin Levels
My dad has hemochromatosis, which causes his high ferritin levels. To keep his levels in check, he regularly donates blood.

Re: Ferritin Levels
Have you been checked for fatty liver?
Non alcohol related fatty liver can cause it

Re: Ferritin Levels
I was tested for some of that - which came up negative and said a Gastro Dr. would know better what to test for.
I do have a fatty Liver and Diabetes.

High Ferritin levels can be related to fatty liver so that may be the cause.
DH had a fatty liver that he cured with a huge diet and lifestyle change.
Hopefully you'll get some more answers.
