I think you are mixing up your levels your iron saturation was 300%? hmm

i forget which i think its the C282Y is the only really bad one around 1 in 5 people if not more are heterozygous for the h63D and (i could be mixing up which gene is worse), which means some people will have no issue and some people get elevated ferretin (but does not continue to rise lik ethe other gene). ferretin is just a marker and you need to look at other iron markers to know if there is any concern for alot of oxidative damage. as far as 300 ferritin levels thats pretty low and aslong as not getting worse some blood draws can get you to normal range.

at any rate, consult ur DR but they wont be too concerned over 300 ferritin as again a huge swath of america has the mutation you do.  and infact they often are more concerned over saturation than ferritin as gives more perspective IIRC. 12% saturation is pretty low for a man. anyway, consult ur dr!
