1. When drying your hair, don't squeeze it to get rid of water. Instead, wring it out over your shoulder like you were a towel. This is so it dries in vague curls, not in the creases where you squeezed them.
Regular blood donation can be done every 8 weeks. A person with severe iron overload may need to give blood as much as 8 times in a single month! The goal is to bring blood ferritin levels to an ideal range of 50-150ng/mL. Depending on the amount of iron overload at the time of diagnosis, reaching normal levels can require several phlebotomies. Serum ferritin drops about 30ng/mL with each full unit (500cc) of blood removed.
A normal ferritin blood level, referred to as the reference interval is determined by many testing laboratories. The ranges for ferritin can vary between laboratories but are usually between 30â300 ng/mL (=Î¼g/L) for males, and 18â115 ng/mL (=Î¼g/L) for females. normal ferritin blood level, referred to as the reference interval is determined by many testing laboratories.
