Few weeks ago I've send my Father to do Ferritin level check and lo and behold his results came back with 640+ ng/mL!
That's all after four Years ago I have also send him to check for Ferritin and then result was above 400.
I gave him EDTA to chellate which he did for some time. He didn't check it again after chellation but I think that he has significantly lower it.
That was 4 Years ago and he was in mid 400 range, which today's level makes troublesome. I've send him to family practitioner with blood test
results and she told him that his Iron (Fe) level was within lab references so he should not to worry about Hemocromatosis!?! She told him that he must do another extended blood tests in order to get a full picture, but phlebotomy wasn't mentioned. He has high blood pressure, enlarged heart and high Ferritin. Quite telling. Will see what will his doctor tell him next. If nothing I would give him another EDTA treatment.
