What is the cause of high ferritin levels?
Patient: I have a low mpv count of 6.5 and have had recent problems with my blood possibly associated with tumors that were removed.. I am also having frequent urination, fatigue and dizziness, aches.. prior to the removal of my tumors I had extreme high ferriten levels 9.1 hgb and a raised ca 125... the doctors believed the tumors were ovarian cancer but upon removal none were   cancerous..any ideas Doctor: Although extremely elevated ferritin levels may be associated with rheumatologic diseases, more often they are found in patients with other conditions such as malignancy or infection. In addition, extremely high ferritin levels can be found in patients with seemingly indolent disease or levels of chronic inflammation.RegardsDR De
