A recent post got me wondering about my own levels. The weird numbers are below:
H Transferrin 999g/L (2.0-3.4)
L Transferrin saturation 0% (20-60)
L Serum iron 8 umol/L (12-27)
FYI I did see a hematologist and he said that transfusions weren't needed as I wasn't anemic (the NHS likes to wait until there's something to treat rather than prevent issues).
I take 420mg ferrous furmarate with 1 60mg Tender Iron as I get cramps with any more iron (I can tolerate 2 Tender iron without the ferrous furmarate).
I feel OK for the most part and was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the above. TIA.
