Hello,

I need to know your total WBC count and differential WBC count as your basophils are high. Provide that report for giving more comment. High serum ferritin could be from hemochromatosis.

High serum ferritin also can be seen in hemolytic anemia for which peripheral smear examination and serum LDH done for primary work up.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
