Help sought with iron panel, please
Date of
test
28th February: Iron 17.7 (5.8-34.5) UIBC 29.3 (24.2-70.1)
TIBC
47 (45-81) Transferrin saturation 37.6% (20-50%) Ferritin 46.80 (13-150) [24.67% through range] I'm a little surprised how different my ferritin results are between tests.

Medichecks bloods with some very low/high bloods. Appt with GP 4th March to discuss.
My wife's bloods are still way off. It's listed below. She recently had a nasty bug on 29th December and feels shes still a bit chesty. She also developed a rash on the top front of her chest which was treated with hydrocortisone (Daktacort) but still feels there's a little left there. Still tired,

Anyone know anything about ferritin and trans ferritin saturation levels?
OK so I got some results back re iron and B12 and would so appreciate some expert understanding from anyone of you. I believe I might have lowish ferritin. It's 39ug but my transferritin saturation is 52%, which is high. How do I increase my iron levels if I need to, with high transferritin saturation

Urgent help needed. Extremely severe RLS, cannot identify cause.
It's so goddamn severe that at this point, I either have the most severe case of RLS in medical history or it's something else. I rate it 9 on the severity scale. Did every possible test related to RLS (iron, vitamin D, etc) except for for transferrin saturation and serum iron because it wasn't available

Iron test results - 6 weeks pregnant
Hello again My last iron test results suggested I was oversupplementing, so I reduced it to 1 Thorne Iron, alternate days. I have since found out I'm pregnant, but not sure that it makes any difference to what I'm doing...guess it will just need monitoring as we go, as iron is one of the things that

High Transferrin Saturation without optimal iron levels
Hello, I am currently trying to get my iron levels up and they are slowly creeping in the right direction. However. My latest bloods show that my TSAT is now too high at 65% (up from 39% two months ago), and ferritin at 70ug/L (up from 65ug/L.) Is this just something to monitor for now?

Starting investigations... advice going forward?
Hi all, GP has referred me to a specialist and ordered some tests to investigate ongoing bowel issues I'm having. I'm hoping to get some advice to help me be more confident/focused and not miss asking for/giving important information going forward. For context, I'm an 'always busy' 39yo mum and shift

Elevated transferrin saturation
What does it imply when your transferrin saturation is high but ferritin is still too low?

I have RLS and recently updated iron labs revealed the following: Ferritin=59.2ng/mL & Transferrin Saturation = 53%.
I have been taking oral iron supplements (Iron sulfate 325mg) and Vitamin C 200 mg daily on an empty stomach but the ferritin has been going up but slowly but the transferrin saturation has gone up much higher. Should I continue with my iron supplements?
