I have now had private blood tests done as the community have suggested. I wonder if anyone can explain the significance of these additional results as I am very confused or direct me to the appropriate link to help me understand them. Thank you as always.

Ferritin 81.0 (13-150)

Folate 28.6 (3.9 - 26.8) - red box alert round this one

B12 781 (197-771) - red box alert round this one

Vit D3 106.6 (75-200 optimally replete)

I also notice under Liver Function test that there is a red box alert around:

Globulin at 23.2 (24-37)

TSH 3.670 (0.270-4.200)

Free T4 23.14 (12.00 - 22)

Free T3 4.3 (3.1 - 6.8)

TPO Negative <60

can't help with globulin.

have you been supplementing folate and B12 - both are above range.

Whilst B12 isn't toxic, raised B12 can be an indicator of some conditions - generally relating to kidney - so if you haven't been supplementing then see your GP.

Not what you're looking for?
