Ferritin levels
Hi all,
Ferritin level has come down from 3600 in Dec2013 at start of chelation to 2300 in Feb 2014. ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif) No increase in HGB levels though. ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)
Creatinine increased slightly to 0.86 (from 0.73 to 0.83 to 0.86). Though this is still within normal values of 0.5-1.3, it seems to show an increasing trend. At what creatinine level should the asunra(exjade) dose be stopped or atleast reduced? The dose has been increased to 800 mg/day which is the prescribed starting dose for her.
Many thanks in advance for reading my post and any advice.
