[QUOTE="xqfq, post: 155571, member: 38167"] RE: the first post, because this wasn't an interventional study we need to consider the possibility that people with elevated ferritin may have something else going on that increases their CVD risk in other ways unrelated to iron, e.g. excessive red meat consumption (trans and saturated fats, TMAO). There are also studies showing that people who give blood live longer than those who don't, but of course people who give blood are more likely to be healthier than the general population. Ferritin is a more expensive test than a standard CBC with hemoglobin and hematocrit. Does anyone know if hemoglobin/hematocrit is sufficient to see if "iron overload" is happening? E.g. could you have "too high" ferritin but normal hemoglobin and hematocrit? Looks like my coffee addiction may be helping me here! [/QUOTE]
