Could someone help me explain please?

CRP <4 (0-6 mg/L)

Ferritin 94.4 (10.0-291.0 ug/L)

Serum Iron 17.4 (10.0-30.4)

Transferrin 2.40 (L) (2.50-3.80) This is under range!

% Saturation 32 (16-50 % )

What does these results mean? Shall I continue supplement iron or stop?

Clara, although this forum has anaemia in the title it is a bit of a misnomer and the forum is actually about a condition that stops people absorbing vitamin B12, one of the symptoms of which is a type of anaemia in which red blood cells are larger and rounder than normal.

Suggest that you speak to your GP/the lab that did the test.

Not what you're looking for?
