Why Ferritin has been elevated,but Serum Iron still very low?

[Guest guest]

Hi, all.

Firstly I would thank you all very much for your kindly help.Your

replies really help me a lot.

I am now supplementing iron, but in last lab, the Ferritin has been

lifted from 34 to 43, and I believe it will be up again after more

supplement. What confused me is the Serum Iron. It still remains very

low asbefore, lower than the normal range 8 (11 is the minimum level)

Why is that? What I have taken was not absorbed at all?

And I also did the CBC tests, all has become " normal " except for two

readings. Unfortunately, doctors claimed that is not a big problem.

But

I think it could be clue of the low iron and improved Ferritin.

LY% 43.2 (20-40)== it is always higher than normal

NE% 46.2 (50-70)==it is always lower than normal

Do you know what they mean?

Thanks again
