Hi all,
I had some EOT (12 weeks Harvoni) labs done recently, and for the first time, they included a Ferritin level test. The result was 670 and the high end of normal is 300. It may be attributed to the mild anemia from chronic kidney disease or my impaired liver. Iron level was within the normal range as well as TIBC and Transferrin saturation %.
My doctor (nephrologist) didn't seem concerned with it but I'd like to get it down into the normal level, if possible. Us folks with liver disease are watching our iron intake (or should be) to begin with and I've done some due diligence regarding how to reduce elevated Ferritin levels without medication, but I'm curious as to whether anyone in the Community has had measurable success with any one approach over the other.
Before I go down the path of experimentation, I'd like to get some firsthand results from real people.
Any and all input is appreciated.
Marc
Best wishes to all in our amazing Community!
