You don't have to be anemic to have
certain blood disorder. That is the case
with von willebrands disease where the
ferritin is low.

Ferritin Levels Posted: 12-05-07 14:42pm
have just been told by my gp that my
ferritin levels are low at 15. Have been
given iron tabs but was wondering why
would these levels suddenly become low and
could this mean some underlying disease?
Thankyou
