Will elevated ferritin 185ug/L cause loss of weight
human
Yes I would love u to answer a question. I have had weight loss in the last 8 months of 4-5kg without trying. I have had ct scans (normal) and blood tests. Only thing on blood test is slightly elevated ferritin 185ug/L. I can not seem to gain weight I am female 50 years full mamagram 2yrs ago not breast changes. I have had servere stress that is now subsiding but don t think that is the reason. I have thought I may be taking too much thyroxine 100mg per day for 51kgs and is taking my body a while to recover from that. Thankyou

HiThanks for using healthcare magicIn your case, weight loss may be due to thyroid hormone. Thyroid helps to  maintain metabolism and if it level is towards higher side, it could lead to weight loss. Better to get your thyroid profile done and if it is towards higher side, then decrease the dose of thyroxine.Thanks
