I've read that ferritin can be high(er) during inflammation and infection, but was wondering if it can also be high due to a molydenum deficiency?
I ask this because several studies, including this brief summary suggest that xanthine oxidase (which requires moly-b) "mediates the release of iron from cellular ferritin".

@alex3619 @Hip and anyone else …I'd appreciate your feedback.
