Ferritin> 400ng/mL usually refers to ferritin> 400ng/mL, ferritin> 400ng/mL does not necessarily mean cancer.
Patients with ferritin> 400ng/mL has no direct relationship with cancer, usually due to iron deficiency anemia, malnutrition, excessive diet and other reasons, the body iron deficiency, ferritin can not bind to iron normally, resulting in elevated ferritin. Therefore, ferritin> 400ng/mL does not necessarily mean cancer.
Patients with elevated ferritin can follow the doctor's advice to take ferrous sulfate, ferrous succinate, ferrous fumarate, polysaccharide iron complex and other iron supplements to correct the elevated ferritin.
