Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank, Infectious diseases specialists, responding to you.

Ferritin is the storage of the iron in our body. As iron is not stored in the body. It leads to anemia. This results in weakness and other symptoms of your body.

I advice starting iron therapy as per your body iron status, under your Dr s guidance.

I will be glad to answer your further query.
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
Wish you a best health.
