hardik:
Retest report indicates 1720 ferritin level.....which very high....what should I do to decrease it....guide me plz
Andy Battaglia:
The child will have to begin chelation soon. Don't worry too much about ferritin. These test results are not consistent and somewhat unreliable. Wheatgrass tablets and powder are fairly easy to find. Where do you live?
hardik:
I m from Karnal,Haryana,India....and had search all the medical store nearby...but failed to find tablets....he got his last transfusion on 18 ....and here in CHD PGI ...docs meet thals only twice a week ....so his reports will be presented to doc next month on 13.....and there docs don't recommend wheatgrass juice or tablets ....they called it a waste....so I m confused a little bit ...what to do or not.... ???
