Ferritin levels
Hi all,
Ferritin level has come down from 3600 in Dec2013 at start of chelation to 2300 in Feb 2014.  No increase in HGB levels though. 
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.
