Help!

[Henbud]

I am a 57 year old male. I've been feeling very tired and run down over the past months. I've been suffering from bouts of dizziness and my balance has become a real problem. My G.P. has run a whole range of blood tests. One of the tests carried out was Iron Profile and another was the Haematinics Profile. The results are as follows: Transferrin Saturation Index - 18% (20.00-50.00%).

Unsaturated Iron Binding Cap. - 58 umol/L (27.80-53.70umol/L).

Saturated Iron Binding Cap. - 70.7umol/L

Serum Iron Level - 12.7umol/L (8.00-32.00umol/L

HAEMATINICS PROFILE:

Serum Vitamin B12 - 800ng/L (211.00-911.00ng/L)

Serum Folate - 12.9ug/L (3.00-19.00ug/L)

Serum Ferritin - 45ug/L ( 22.00 - 322.00ug/L)

The haemoglobin estimation result is 167g/L (135.00-172.00g/L)

I would be extremely grateful for an opinion on these results.

My G.P. is telling me that I don't need to be prescribed any Iron supplements here.

I look forward to hearing from one or more of you knowledgeable members.

Many thanks.
