Help interpreting bloods for vitamins/ferratin/FBC please

[Gillybean129]

I can't see anything related to folate and the only thing which is out of the normal range is this:

Mean cell haemoglobin concentration - below range - 32,8 g/dL (33.5 - 35.5) Outside reference range

So am I anaemic?

Only thing I recognised was TSH which was up at 2.1!

Hi May be but you need a separate test for iron/ferritin , there are 2, make sure it includes the % absorption as should be high. The level should be well in range.Also B12 + foliates. b12 needs to be high in range with thyroid disease.

Best wishes,

Jackie

I think perhaps you retitled your post? It's very naughty of the doc/lab to blind you with science like this. They want you to be very sure that only they can interpret your results - which is, of course, not the case. If they came by email do cut and paste them here: someone will be able to help you with the picture they paint (not me, sadly!)

Yes I did edit, I thought it was too long winded what I had put so amended slightly! They are on 3 x A4 printouts, so not sure what to do, whichever way the GP surgery said that they were 'normal' but clearly one item isn't!
