Posted on Sat, 6 Mar 2021
Question: My wife has had problems with low iron but stored ferritin has been normal. Her hemoglobin is normal. She had two iron infusions and her ferritin went to 2600. Then after a month it dropped to 1400. Was this high number because of iron overload or because of another condition?

Brief Answer:
They are about 10 times more than normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

These numbers are very elevated about 10 times more than normal. This is not normal and a bit difficult to be reached by the iron infusions.
You can repeat the analysis to check if there is an error.
You may need to visit a haematologist otherwise.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
