Around midday I received the results of my blood test taken at 800 AM. Kupat Holim is super-efficient. Everything within normal limits, except for ferritin, which is 450 mg/lt or so (300 is normal for men). What is the meaning? My body hoards iron within a protein capsule (see model left). It could be hereditary, could be some kind of anemia, could be liver problems. The internet says phlebotomy (blood letting) is indicated. Wifey says I always had excess ferritin. I don't know, I have no iron spots on my hand, but they sure will appear with time. Life is finite. So depressing.
