The ferritin levels are usually low due to a poor diet or a diet that lacks iron. However, chrons disease and other underlying medical conditions can also result in low ferritin levels. If you have low ferritin levels then you are recommended to take a diet rich in spinach, and fruits such as bananas and pomegranate.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

For the past one and a half years, I have experienced joint pain and swelling near my wrists. Earlier blood tests confirmed that I was RA positive, and I underwent treatment for arthritis. Recently, after consulting an orthopaedic specialist, my new blood report shows that RA is now negative, but my ASO titre is elevated at 782. Is this condition curable?
