Iron panel results
In early Sept my ferritin came back: 25.9 (10-291) so I asked for an iron panel. I am a bit confused by the transferrin result as I have read that if low iron then transferrin should be high? Mine is below range. Oct 22: Ferritin: 28.9 (10-291) Iron serum: 13.7 (9-30.4) Transferrin: 2.42 (2.5

The importance of getting serum ferritin above 100 µg/l for hypothyroid patients
None of the women had
anaemia
or erythrocyte indices outside the reference range although all had serum ferritin <60 µg/l. [/i][i]
Restoration of serum ferritin above 100 µg/l
[/i][i]ameliorated the symptoms in two-thirds of the women.

Help/advice needed -1st marathon in 4 weeks + really struggled this week...anaemia or overtraining?
Hi, I've got my first marathon in 27days -well its actually 45km (Adidas Terrex South Downs). It's quite hilly (2770 ft ascent) and so I've been mostly training on the Downs. Had a couple of setbacks in April/May, but since then have managed to stick to my plan, but have perhaps overdone the increase

Is it all about the range?
Hi everyone I was just reading up on thyroid globulin antibodies as I had a test done by Medichecks in Aug 2022 which had me within normal range and I was wondering whether people without thyroid problems had these antibodies too.
Thyroid Globulin Antibodies (TgAb) 48IU/L (reference <115)

Newly diagnosed possible Autoimmune gastritis and B12 deficiency
I initially saw him to arrange an iron infusion for iron deficiency without
anaemia
/ low ferritin that I've recently found out I've had since at least 2007. I had a Monofer iron infusion two and a half weeks ago.

Thyroid or Pituitary Problem?
I thought that my low iron levels but fluctuating normal/high ferritin levels alongside normal haemoglobin would not fit the profile of
anaemia
but suggest another cause of iron deficiency? My diet intake of iron is suffcient & I haven't suffered any menstural bleed in 3 months.

Some help with interpreting iron panel please.
My mum is supplementing with iron. Crp hs 0.48 (0-5) Iron 29,9 (5.8-34.5) Tibc 62.7 (45-81) Uibc 30.9 (24.2-70.1) Transferrin 47.5 (20-50) Ferritin 298.6 (13-150) It looks as though she should’ve stopped a while back. Any insight with what these numbers are now saying and mean would be helpful

diagnosed
Was originally diagnosed 8 years ago. I have not had injections for 2 years due to covid so asked GP to restart them but wouldn’t without blood test etc. blood test has come back saying b12 is normal and intrinsic factor is negative so he is saying I don’t have PA anymore? And therefore won’t treat me

When blood tests don't show the reality in lupus
im sure there are so many of you who have blood test after blood test that doesn't show the true and complete picture of what is going on. GPs don't give me the actual numbers bc I'm medical, instead they say normal or satisfactory which to me mean very little. And is their normal my normal? I know

Blood Iron results
Hello everyone. My long awaited appointment at the gp surgery finally arrived and I was seen by a somewhat inexperienced health care assistant who suggested I drink a glass of tonic water before bed to help with my RLS! When I tried to explain my research, this forum and the Mayo Clinic algorithm

Can you insist on a Pernicious Anaemia Test with low B12?
I was diagnosed with Pernicious
Anaemia
at 27 by a specialist after having various tests for other things, and have been on B12 injections ever since and am now in my 60's. My daughter is 28yrs old and her blood test has just come back with 'low B12'.
