The normal level of ferritin varies between men and women: The lower the ferritin level, even within the "normal" range, the more likely it is that the patient does not have enough iron. Once the level dips below this range they are classified as being anemic and should see a hemotologist and a gastroenterologist for additional diagnostic tests and treatment. Normal ferritin levels follow: Male: 12-300 ng/mL Female: 12-150 ng/mL Note: ng/ml = nanograms per milliliter http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003490.htm
infections, late-stage cancers, lymphomas, and severe inflammations. Alcoholics often have high ferritin levels.

Anaemia can be associated with low ferritin and high Folate levels.
A ferritin level of 189 ng/mL can be considered high. Normal levels can vary between labs, but typically fall between 20-250 ng/mL for women and 20-500 ng/mL for men. Elevated ferritin levels can be due to conditions like iron overload, inflammation, liver disease, or certain cancers. Consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation is recommended.
