<bot>: Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has high ferritin level, but It's not too high. He should take Chat Doctor.  Repeat ferritin level after a month. Ferritin is also an acute phase reactant, so it can also be increased in some inflammatory conditions.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
