Advice needed on iron/ferritin levels please
I'd be really grateful if anyone could advise on whether I need to be concerned about my iron/ferritin levels. I'm seeing a neurologist tomorrow and want to be well informed. I have results from my last three blood tests so hopefully that might help. Serum iron level: October 2023 - 7.7 umol/L; January

Help interpreting iron panel
Hello I am hypothyroid, about 5 years & take just under 100mg levothyroxine daily. I have a high T4 & low T3 and see a private endo who has offered to prescribe T3. I'm generally feeling ok but do struggle with puffy & very sore eyes, dry skin & high cholesterol. I am thinking of trialling the T3.

iron results
I’d appreciate some feedback on my iron panel results please? I know my ferritin is too low, even if it’s above the bottom of the range. I upped how much black pudding, pate, or liver I’m eating at 5 out of 7 days a week for over a couple of months. Is my iron too decent enough to be able to take

Advice needed on iron levels (plus an update on Targinact)
Hi everyone, I posted recently asking for advice about Targinact, which I started taking on 10 January. I had such an extreme and horrible reaction that I stopped taking it 15 days later. Given my dose was only 5/2.5mg daily, I haven't had any withdrawal issues other than feeling very tired and depressed

Ferritin and TSI results.
Hi, I haven’t posted for a while as I have been investigated following a positive faecal occult blood test. They have found a large polyp in my caecum which I am having removed on Friday. For some unknown reason, I have had a few months of remission from my RLS but now they are ‘kicking off’ again.

Iron and ferritin advice requested
I have recently had a full set of iron and ferritin blood tests completed and would like some advice on the numbers, please (prior to these tests, only my ferritin levels have been tested). They result from early morning fasting with no iron supplements for one week. My serum ferritin was 160 µg/L.

My daughter's blood tests, could someone take a look please .
My daughter is 12. She doesn't have any diagnosed thyroid problems but our GP has run various blood tests due to regular nosebleeds and occasional migraines with aura. I persuaded them to check her thyroid and iron panel aswell. I've pushed for this with our family history of autoimmune thyroid problems

Advise on TSH and FT4 results
Hi All, Last week, I had a liver fibroscan, and the nurse informed me I had no scarring. However, he noted that there is a lot of fat (CAP score 307). The nurse took some blood samples, including TSH and free T4, as well as vitamin D, iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation, and ferritin. I already
