Not a doctor, but a quick search says a typical range is 20 to 500 nanograms per milliliter for men and 20 to 200 for women.

Ferritin is an acute phase reactant and can be elevated due to inflammation.

Low ferritin is almost always iron deficiency

Very very rarely high ferritin is a sign of hemochromatosis

if someones alt and ast is normal, hba1c is normal, and has a hemochromatosis gene with with a ferritin of 310 then what would that mean?

They're normal



so you wouldnt conclude that the person is loading on iron due to being a mutation in an hfe gene and is getting sick?

when ferritin hits 1,000 organ damage is mostly inevitable, the point with hemochromatosis is to run tests early in their lives and prevent ferritin from ever reaching that point. doctors seem to be confused with end stage hemochromatosis and and loading up on iron and feeling symptoms. its interesting how much misinformation there is about this and its pretty dangerous whats going on.
