Hi
i have Thalassemia Trait ( minor)
i am a carrier i am female in my 30's ,when i have full blood test
it always skews the result.I recently
had a thyroid test which was fine result.I have had a lot of hair falling out ,but no impact as it grows back no bald areas.I feel fatigue very short hot tempered at the smallest things others would ignore and i also have heavy periods .
I have just had a
Ferritin Folate B12 blood test result and B12
was excellent my GP says this is a normal result but i still have symptoms like iron deficiency hair loss and i have heard that Serum Ferritin result is anything under 40ug/L is usually diagnose of being iron deficient would anyone agree with this answer i got from my post to a Doctor in the US who said it was a low result and anything under 40ug/L would be iron deficiency.
Here is my result for ferritin and folate below: My question was "Is Serum Ferritin result too low? "
12 ug/L. range 12-250ug/L
Serum folate 19.7 range 4-20ug/L
B12 721 range 130-800ng/L
Serum C r protein <1 mg/L. range<7.00mg/L
I would be very grateful for some
advice on this as it would be good
to see what could be causing this.
Thank you.
