High iron levels are most often associated with a genetic disorder called hereditary hemochromatosis.
However, there can be other causes.
I had been anemic my entire life, until I moved six years ago.
After relocating, I experienced a sudden and unexplained increase in ferritin levels. This prompted me to have the water tested, and it turned out to have high iron content.
