A significant drop in ferritin levels from 214 to 24 in just six weeks could indicate several underlying issues, such as increased iron loss due to bleeding (e.g., gastrointestinal bleeding or heavy menstrual periods), insufficient dietary iron intake, or malabsorption conditions (like celiac disease). It may also be a response to an inflammatory process or infection, where iron is sequestered away from circulation. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate testing to determine the exact cause.
