Is Ferritin 502 high, normal or dangerous? What does Ferritin level 502 mean?

📅 Medical Review Date: January 1, 2026

Your Ferritin level of 502 is a High Ferritin level.

A ferritin level of 502 ng/mL usually means the body has too much stored iron or there is inflammation. It suggests iron overload. High levels of ferritin can cause joint pain, fatigue, abdominal pain, weakness, heart palpitations, low libido, and bronze or gray skin color. This can be caused by hemochromatosis, chronic inflammation, liver disease, or iron poisoning. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

High Ferritin levels may indicate underlying health problems. The normal range is typically between 22 ng/mL and 322 ng/mL. If your levels are outside this range, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider. Consulting a doctor is recommended to determine the cause and appropriate next steps.
