Suggest Treatment For High Ferritin Level

My blood work just came back and I have high ferritin 358. I am female. Everything else is in the normal range. I do drink alcohol on the weekends. Want to know what to do to get my ferritin level down. Also, if I have liver damage due to alcohol consumption, is there anything I can do to reverse it? Thanks.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Ferritine is a storage form of iron. But it is also increased in inflammation. You should check your CRP level. If high ferritine is due to inflammation then you need only anti inflammatory drugs.
Avoid alcohol. If you have reversible damage then it will become normal by itself. If irreversible damage is there then no treatment is there for that. Avoid alcohol to avoid further damage.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
