Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Sir, Thank you for reverting back. Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that S.ferritin is also a marker for inflammation so it can be raised due to some infection etc. It also signifies iron overload but that has to be judged according to the clinical scenario. Your urate levels and bilirubin level is not significant enough to be related to some pathology. If you have any symptoms or problem Kindly tell us . Take care . Dr. Shruti
