Maureen, what have your red blood cell and haemoglobin counts been doing? What's your lab's hematocrit reference range?

[Kiwi77 in reply to AussieNeil]

heamoglobin 150 Heamaocrit range is 0.35 0.46 serem iron 15 ref range 10 30 is that the red blood cell one Thanks Neil

Your haemoglobin is a very healthy top of the range value, so this, with some dehydration could well explain it. Ask your doctor next time you see them, particularly if it's not lower next test, when you've drunk more fluids beforehand.
