Will Ferritin And Sedrate Go Down After Taking Iron??
Good Morning, my 14 yr old daughter has hypothyroid and mixed connective tissue disease. Lately her ferritin levels were extremely high and her sedrate too but her iron levels are only at 20. If I give her iron therapy will the ferritin and sedrate go down?
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Ferritin is a storage form of iron. So if you give iron it will increase the ferritine level.
But ferritin is also an acute phase reactant. It is a marker of inflammation. So in inflammatory conditions ferritine level increased very high. So when inflammation is reduced ferritin level will also reduced. Iron therapy is not a reason.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
