High serum ferritin is mainly caused by iron utilization disorder, excessive iron release and excessive iron intake.
1. Iron utilization disorder: mainly seen in anemic diseases, such as aplastic anemia, etc. In addition, chronic lead poisoning can also lead to high serum ferritin.
2. Excessive iron release: such as hemolytic anemia, repeated blood transfusions, etc., and certain liver diseases, such as liver cancer, cirrhosis, hepatitis, fatty liver, etc.
3. Excessive iron intake: such as iron deficiency anemia, iron (ferrous succinate) treatment overdose, can also lead to high serum ferritin.
Clinically, if high serum ferritin occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the physician to clarify the cause, so as to avoid omission of diagnosis and misdiagnosis.
