How come my ferritin level is 7 and my iron level 135 can you explain why i am so tired if my iron level is so high?
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron. Low ferritin is a precursor to anemia, so if you do nothing about the low ferritin level your iron level will eventually drop.
Is 650 too high s ferritin level for a woman?

Is a ferritin level of 189 high?
A ferritin level of 189 ng/mL can be considered high. Normal levels can vary between labs, but typically fall between 20-250 ng/mL for women and 20-500 ng/mL for men. Elevated ferritin levels can be due to conditions like iron overload, inflammation, liver disease, or certain cancers. Consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation is recommended.
What diseases are associated with very low ferritin and very high folate?
Anaemia can be associated with low ferritin and high Folate levels.
What does high ferritin levels mean?
If ferritin is high, there is iron in excess or else there is an acute inflammatory reaction in which ferritin is mobilized without iron excess. For example, ferritins may be high in infection without signalling body iron overload.Ferritin is also used as a marker for iron overload disorders, such as hemochromatosis or hemosiderosis. Adult-onset Still's disease, porphyria, and Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis are diseases in which the ferritin level may be abnormally raised. As ferritin is also an acute-phase reactant, it is often elevated in the course of disease. A normal C-reactive protein can be used to exclude elevated ferritin caused by acute phase reactions.According to a study of anorexia nervosa patients, ferritin can be elevated during periods of acute malnourishment
What is the normal range of ferritin?

What are routine tests with high ferritin levels?

What if your ferritin is high?
