Patient's question:
Doctor: ! My ferritin level is 396. What could be the reason for the increase? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, ferritin testing is an indicator for the diagnosis and differentiation of iron deficiency anemia, but ferritin is also a tumor marker. If it is significantly elevated, it is necessary to consider potential acute or chronic harm to the liver system or digestive system tumors. The abnormal elevation of ferritin is an abnormal condition and should be taken seriously. It is recommended that you go to the hematology department or gastroenterology department of a hospital to undergo relevant and thorough examinations to identify the cause of the elevation and obtain a definitive diagnosis. This can also alleviate your concerns.
