What does an extremely high ferritin level mean?
An extremely high ferritin level could indicate that you have a condition that causes your body to store too much iron.

People with anemia have poor blood circulation throughout their bodies because they don't have enough red blood cells to provide oxygen to their tissue.
You can increase your ferritin levels without affecting your iron by consuming more copper-rich foods, like shellfish, liver meat, fatty fish, oysters, spirulina, mushrooms, shrimps, and dark chocolate.
A ferritin level blood test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body stores. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body's iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency.
The ferritin levels are usually low due to a poor diet or a diet that lacks iron. However, chrons disease and other underlying medical conditions can also result in low ferritin levels. If you have low ferritin levels then you are recommended to take a diet rich in spinach, and fruits such as bananas and pomegranate.
