What causes high Ferritin and low Alkaline phosphatase?

High Ferritin and low Alkaline phosphatase can be caused by many reasons.

If your Ferritin is in between 22 ng/mL and 322 ng/mL and your Alkaline phosphatase is in between 30 U/L and 120 U/L then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Ferritin and Alkaline phosphatase respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease Ferritin levels include:

• Iron overload or iron poisoning
• Adult Still's disease
• Liver disease
• Iron deficiency anemia
• Hemachromatosis
