Patient's question:
My husband has been having digestive issues and fatigue recently. He underwent a full-body check-up today, and his ferritin level was over 380, which is more than 100 units higher than normal. Other tests, including liver function, autoimmune panel, thyroid function, complete blood count, and tumor markers, were all normal. Only the abdominal ultrasound showed chronic gastritis. Does gastritis cause a decrease in ferritin levels?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you purchased, first don't worry too much and maintain a good mentality. To some extent, the high ferritin is caused by gastritis. Pay attention to rest, don't overwork, don't put too much pressure on yourself, pay attention to your diet, and develop good eating habits. Always stay cheerful. Exercise more, such as running more often. Make sure to eat more easily digestible foods.
