"If a ferritin test shows higher than normal levels, it could indicate that you have a condition that causes your body to store too much iron. It could also point to liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, other inflammatory conditions or hyperthyroidism.Dec 28, 2021

I would suggest you see your primary care physician about that particular test result.

Re ferritin levels. Is elevated ferritin a common and related to ET? I am not being tested for it, but the discussion drew my attention because I developed a benign goiter a couple of years ago. Came out of the blue and family doc has dismissed it as nothing to worry about after doing a needle biopsy yearly ultrasound and initial thyroid function tests. Not everything is related to ET, but wondering if it's worthwhile pushing for further tests.
