Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hello, everyone My recent labs are: Ferritin 99 Iron 111 (35-171) TIBC 330 (221-481) Iron Sat. 34 (22-44%) Previous ferritin levels were: Nov - 32 Feb - 46 May - 99 Is it possible for the ferritin level to have raised to 99 without it being a false high? What would cause it to increase this high (not that I am complaining, if it is good to be this high.) I did not have any iron pills at least a week prior to testing. My previous iron panel is similar to these new numbers, with the exception of the ferritin level. Only things I have introduced into my diet since the lab testing in February were eating gluten free, Rhodiola, PS, Melatonin. Could these things have caused the increase? Is it possible that introducing the above will reduce my RT3? (doctor refuses to give me T3 only and unable to find anyone who even KNOWS of RT3. (I thought RT3 was in the realm of endocrinology....) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 It i sunlikely thta this is a true leel. Ferritin can be raised from any illness even a cold or allergies, and any inflammation in your body which is why I ask for a full iron panel to knwo for sure. Your iron is not horrible but as the 5Sat is under 35% I would say oyu need mor iron still. -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
