Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
sure... my son, 36 was told he had high ferriton level... should be 400 his was 445... he was checked for Hemochromatosis , which his father has, but the test showed negitive for the gene.. he does not smoke or drink... just wondering what it could be.. thanks
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has high ferritin level, but its not too high. He should take drugs like defiperone or desferoximine according to doctor's advice. Repeat ferritine level after a month. Ferritin is also a acutd phase reactant so it can also be increased in some inflammatory conditions. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
