Susieq14--Your doc is right, infections and inflammation can give a falsely elevated ferritin reading. But, I will hope that this is a true reading for you

.
For my blood labs my Hematologist has it down to a science. The night before my appointment my lab is faxed to the blood lab and waiting for me the next morning before my appointment. I get my Stat labs done, walk over to the building, and by the time it is my turn they have the results, other than ferritin which takes longer, and I call in the next day for the results. I was very impressed by this routine. I wish more doctors would do things like this when people are suffering with colds and such instead of waiting a couple of days for results. That is frustrating when you are told to go to the lab and they are not ready for you.
So is she doing further testing for the AVM, wasn't she going to do an MRA or something? That is excellent news that your IGG is at normal levels!!!!!
I also did the 24 hour urine testing, they were looking for AI diseases as a cause of my anemia. It looks like you are getting better news. When I was ill my liver enzymes were elevated for many months. They never did find a cause for this either. I think that it was due to the high dose iron, but they say no. Sometimes when you are ill these things go up and down and then return to normal. I hope this is the case for you too. Keep us posted. FLFLOWERGIRL
