    I used to feel very weak, dizzy and tired, with headaches almost daily.I was afraid because I also had a blood clot in the brain one year ago.Turns out my ferritin is low, but nobody believed me and my family thought I was exaggerating my symptoms.It sucks...

    What does it mean if ferritin is low but iron saturation is high? I'm confused about whether to supplement or not.

    • @MedicalCentric
      @MedicalCentric  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      A low ferritin level with a high iron saturation can be indicative of a complex situation and may require further evaluation by a healthcare professional. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron, and low levels of ferritin suggest reduced iron stores in the body. On the other hand, high iron saturation may indicate an abundance of iron in your blood at a given moment.
      Supplementation should not be initiated without a thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider, as excess iron can be harmful. They can help determine the underlying cause of these findings and guide you on whether or not iron supplementation is necessary, based on your specific health and nutritional status.

      A ferritin level of 2 ng/mL is exceptionally low, as normal ranges typically fall between 20 and 500 ng/mL. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron, and low levels may indicate iron deficiency anemia. Symptoms of low ferritin can include fatigue, weakness, and pale skin. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional who can interpret your complete blood count (CBC) and other relevant tests to determine the underlying cause of the low ferritin and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include iron supplementation or addressing any potential dietary factors contributing to the deficiency.
