Have UK ref ranges for ferritin changed?
Hi, I'm sure I read on the forum recently that UK ref ranges for ferritin have changed. Does anyone know if this is true? I can't find the post where it was mentioned so please post a link if anyone finds it or to other UK documents/guidance. Apologies if this is a false memory. I've found it... https

Can you have anemia with normal CBC?
I have low b12 but normal CBC and Hemoglobin. Iron levels are normal. I'm waiting on the folate test. Does this mean I am not anemic?

MCV
Does anyone know what this means on NICE Guidelines" An MCV less than 95 femtolitres has a sensitivity of 97.6% for iron deficiency anaemia. In people with anaemia and an MCV of more than 95 femtolitres, there is a low probability of iron deficiency. My MCV was 83.4 fL

HIGH FERRITIN
Hello partners We always speak of low Ferritin, because that condition is what can indicate that iron is low in the body and consequently in the brain, producing R.L.S. I´m suffering from PMML, and an ultrasound brain Doppler test confirmed insufficient iron in brain stores. But nevertheless I have 700

How long should I go off iron supplements before testing?
Hi I’ve been on 3 prescription iron supplements a day since January and am having my iron, ferritin, and cbc tested on Friday. How long should I go off my iron supplements to get an accurate reading? Thanks so much

Back to Work??
Some of you will know that since my diagnosis 2yrs ago, I have made 2 unsuccessful attempts to return to my job working in a nursery class in a primary school. Over the past two years I've only managed to attend work for two half term periods! I absolutely love my job and love all the wonderful children

Ferritin of 56
I was taking iron tablets for anaemia for a few months, and when I was re-tested recently my ferritin was 56. The GP advised me that I was no longer anaemic and to stop the iron. I am extremely tired and I have diffuse hair loss. I have started taking a maintenance dose of ferrous sulphate again and

UIBC level
Has anyone with PA/B12 deficiency had this scenario: B12 low Iron Normal UIBC LOW If so, what ended up being the solution/treatment? NOTE: https://www.msdmanuals.com/-/media/Manual/LabTests/IronTests.html Expand the "What does the test result mean" question and you will see details of what the results

Iron Deficiency and B12
Here is an interesting article that states the B12 and folate levels were low and then corrected with iron supplementation but seemly w/o B12 supplementation in [u]Iron Deficient Anemics. [/u] Note: this will be different of course for people with PA/B12 deficiency w/o low Iron.

Severely weak. Can I try heme iron peptides?
Could my trembling/vibrations/debility be caused by iron deficiency as ferritin was 17 (saturation n iron stores also on lower side). I also feel cold. After taking iron, I feel almost normal for sometime n the trembling lessens too, then again feel weak by evening. if I don't take the iron in evening

Abnormal iron results
Hello, can anyone let me know if abnormal iron results are a Hashi's thing? They've been like this for a couple of years now (tests all done privately) but NHS haven't ever tested for it. Is it worth pursuing with the GP or just leave it alone. I don't take any iron supplements so I don't really

Does B12 deficiency deplete iron levels?
Hi everyone ! I’m a bit stumped regarding my newest iron panel results (below). First of all, I’ve been supplementing with 60 mg every other day and having an iron rich diet with vitamin C. Even so, my levels have been dropping quite dramatically: 09/29/2020 Total Iron 92 ug/dL (50-212) Iron Binding
