High ferritin, enough for organ damage?
Just had a test, and those are the results:
Ferritin 384 21.8-274.6
Transferrin 316 200-360
Iron 107 65-175
I'm now kind of freaking out now. I've had several symptoms so far, like extreme tiredness for a few days (which went away now), and very low libito. Nothing else, possibly a bit of darkness under the eyes, but not much. I'm going to the doctor ASAP but i'd like to know how dangerous those levels are. I've seen people with over a 1000 ferritin but those are hemochromatosis sufferers. In my case it would be an excess of iron intake from food and supplements. I already suffer from anxiety and my panic levels are already through the roof.
