    Elevated Ferritin
    I am 61, Asian, male, weight 70kg, 171cm height, with high uric acid, currently taking allopurinol 100mg (1@AM & PM)and atenolol 50mg for elevated blood pressure around 150/90. Occasional diclofenac to ease the inflammation and pain caused by the gout problem on my right toe and heel.
    Ringing of ear and dizzy spell, I am taking betahistine 6 mg three times a day.

    SGPT or ALT at 35 mu/ml, urea (SI) 7 mmol/L, uric acid 458 umol/L,ESR 20 mm/hr,

    What causes my ferritin 654ng/ml so high?
