Hi,
I have done my last blood test and my doctor is not worried about Haemochromatosis because he said my ferritin is only 300 ng/ml and not over 1000 ng/ml which he said is the freehold to suspect Haemochromatosis.
Here is my blood test result:
Ferritin: 300ng / ml range (30 - 400)
Iron saturation: 55% (max is 45%)
Transferrin: 2,43g/l range (2.00 - 3.60)
Serum Iron: 185 ug/100ml
Haemoglobin is high also 18,1 g/100ml I think it's due to iron being high. I don't have any mark of inflammation CRP is low, and sedimentation speed is low.
I have read that ferritin higher than 150 ng/ml is bad for overall health and longevity, which my doctor didn't agree with. Furthermore, I'm a bit worried to stay with this level of ferritin that could potentially cause some serious long term issue like cancer and heart problems.
I check back in time and from 2010 to now my ferritin was always between 100-300 but it's recently high on the last free reading since 2016 over 256ng/ml.
Thanks for your help and support.
