Can endometriosis affect the liver and cause high ferritin levels?

While endometriosis can occur in many areas of the body including the lungs (as you've experienced), the search results don't specifically address endometriosis affecting the liver or causing elevated ferritin levels.

It's worth noting that endometriosis can continue to be active even after menopause, especially if you still have ovaries producing hormones. A MyEndometriosisTeam member shared experiencing symptomatic endometriosis years after menopause.

Given your extensive endometriosis history and the fact that your ovaries remain, it's reasonable to ask your doctor to investigate whether endometriosis could be contributing to your liver findings. You might benefit from consulting with an endometriosis specialist who understands how the condition can behave post-menopause and in cases of widespread disease.

High ferritin can have multiple causes, so working with your healthcare team to explore all possibilities - including but not limited to your endometriosis history - is important for getting accurate answers about what's happening with your liver.
