Can Papaya Leaf Extracts Increase Ferritin Levels In Blood?
Hi I ve suffered Aplastic anemia (D61.9), and I heard that papaya leaf can increase platelets count, so I drink 1L of papaya dried leaf tea & papaya leaf extract 2ml per day. About a month later, I tried blood test of Ferritin, and it goes up to more than 1000.(about 500 up compared to previous test) Can papaya leaf too much increase Ferritin or influence liver?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, papaya leaf extract can not rise ferritin.
They can increase platelets and have hepatoprotective nature. So they are good for liver especially in severe dengue cases.
Better to consult hematologist for high ferritin levels.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
