Hello, if the serum ferritin is abnormally elevated, liver cancer is more likely to be considered. The reason for the elevation of serum ferritin is that the source of ferritin is increased or there exists obstacle to its removal. For example, when suffering from liver cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, leukemia, etc., the ferritin synthesized by cancer cells increases, which makes serum ferritin rise. When suffering from liver disease, the function of liver cell damage decreases, making serum ferritin rise.
