Newly diagnosed-6 Weekly 1pint Phlebotomy & Ferritin keeps rising 🤔
*Hereditary & I’m the only known case in my family*
Began with ferritin in 1,100 range and gave a “unit” to red cross suspecting to have Hemochromatosis.
Initial phlebotomy at Hematology dropped my ferritin to 500. Every since that first pint at hematologist, my ferritin has slowly risen over the weeks creeping back up to nearly 700.
Is this normal or part of the process?
The nurses and Dr. don’t seem to be concerned so I’m curious to your personal experience and could use the affirmation that this is not unusual 😅
