Ferritin is a soluble tissue protein that stores iron in the body, and normal human serum contains a small amount of ferritin, but different tests have different normal values, so what are the dangers if ferritin is high? Take a look!
1, high ferritin may have acute granulocytic leukemia
Acute leukemia is a clonal malignant disease originating from hematopoietic stem cells. In the bone marrow and other hematopoietic tissues of any kind of abnormal primitive or naive cell overgrowth, and released to the peripheral blood, resulting in the bone marrow in other cell generation and reproduction inhibition and various organs of the leukemia cell infiltration. Clinical manifestations include anemia, secondary infection, hemorrhage, enlarged liver and spleen lymph nodes, and other signs of infiltration. One or more kinds of primitive and na?ve cells are increased in the bone marrow image, and there are cytoplasmic changes (such as nuclear malformation), and the blood image shows elevated leukocytes, decreased red blood cells and platelets, or decreased whole blood cells, and a large number of na?ve cells can be seen. The disease progresses rapidly, with a natural course of only a few months.
There is a strong association with bone marrow dysfunction; patients have an increase in granulocytes and promyelocytes but a decrease in mature leukocytes, and reticulocytes are not elevated compared to iron deficiency anemia.
2, high ferritin may have lymphoma
Lymphoma is a malignant tumor originating from the lymphatic hematopoietic system, mainly manifested as painless lymph node enlargement, hepatosplenomegaly, all tissues and organs of the body can be involved, accompanied by fever, night sweats, emaciation, itching and other systemic symptoms.
Malignant lymphoma is a large group of tumors with considerable heterogeneity. Although it occurs in the lymph nodes, due to the distribution characteristics of the lymphatic system, lymphoma is a systemic disease, and it can invade almost any tissues and organs of the body. Therefore, the clinical manifestations of malignant lymphoma have the same characteristics as those of malignant lymphoma, but also differ greatly according to different pathological types, invasion sites and scopes.
3, high ferritin may have pancreatic tumor
Islet cell tumor occurs in the tail and body of the pancreas, most of them are solitary, and only a few of them are multiple. The size of the tumor varies, and the average diameter is about 1-2 cm. The tumor is slightly hard, round and red or purplish in color. Islet cell tumor is composed of islet cell-like tumor cells forming a mass or strip, separated by connective tissue, about 4/5 cases are benign, the tumor body has a complete envelope, and the boundary with the surrounding is clear. When the patient is fasting, especially before breakfast or after strenuous labor, insulin shock symptoms often appear, such as fatigue, confusion, even delirium, convulsions, coma and other phenomena. At the onset, blood glucose is often less than 50 mg, if the immediate oral or static injection of glucose solution, the above symptoms quickly disappeared.
How to do with high ferritin
1, high protein food as much as possible don't eat
can be adjusted in the Chinese medicine to observe, daily diet to pay special attention to, do not pay attention to most likely aggravate the condition, is the deterioration of the condition.

To improve gastrointestinal function, you can take ginsenoside Rh2 (life preserver), which contains 16.2% of ginseng saponin in modern Chinese medicine, to improve immunity. It can also counteract the damage caused by chemotherapy to peripheral blood cells, and has an obvious protective and promotional effect on the hematopoietic function of bone marrow. It effectively prevents bone marrow damage from chemotherapy and helps to complete the chemotherapy cycle and improve the clinical efficacy.
2, ferritin high can eat radish
Radish is known as the "natural digestive agent" rhizome part contains amylase and a variety of digestive enzymes, can decompose the starch and fat in the food, to promote the digestion of food, lift the chest tightness, inhibit the excessive stomach acid. It can help stomach peristalsis, promote metabolism, and detoxify the body. Eating radish can lower blood fat, soften blood vessels, stabilize blood pressure, prevent coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, gallstones and other diseases. But radish is a cold vegetable. Yin Sheng cold body, spleen and stomach cold should not eat. Peppers are rich in vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, carbohydrates, fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients, but also the highest content of vitamin A and C in vegetables. Eating colored peppers can improve the black spots and freckles, and heat, blood, eliminate fatigue, prevent colds and promote blood circulation, etc., can make the good cholesterol in the blood to increase, make blood vessels strong and healthy, improve atherosclerosis and a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Pepper has a powerful antioxidant effect, can fight cataracts, heart disease and cancer, prevent the body from aging, and the body's cellular activation, has a very obvious effect.

1, high ferritin pain in the liver area
As liver cancer is liver cancer cells, so there will be pain in the liver area or intermittent dull pain or pain, abdominal pain and so on.
2. Loss of appetite due to high ferritin
In the early stage of hepatocellular carcinoma, the symptoms are very deep and hidden, and they often only include loss of appetite, epigastric stuffiness and fatigue, and mild hepatomegaly in ultrasound examination.
