Please can anyone have a look at my iron levels again. Im confused now

[Rmichelle]

Hi i have sought advice elsewhere on my iron levels and are now so confused because told originally a couple of my results were low in range even though lab results say in range. I am now being told they are ok apart from esr marker. Help

Rmichelle,

Ferritin is very low in range. Ferritin is optimal halfway through range so around 100. I can't see any other iron results. You can raise ferritin by supplement iron which should be taken with 1,000mg vitamin C to aid absorption and minimise constipation.

Clutter thankyou i become confused when another forum did state iron levels fine! I knew what everybody said here ferritin was low, i am going to stay on here instead now and buy ferritin tablets and vit c. Thankyou

Rmichelle Your ferritin is low at 24 (20-200), no doubt about that. It should be half way through it's range.

MCV isn't as low as first thought when you had your blurred photo in your other post, but it's at the lower end of it's range.

MCH is low in range at 27.4 (27-31) and you were advised that labtestsonline.co,uk say May be low in iron deficiency, inflammatory conditions and thalassaemia

You have a high ESR which Clutter advised is an inflammatory marker, which ties in with the MCH being low in inflammatory conditions.

Not sure what else to say. Maybe you should do your own research.

Thankyou seaside susie. I did contact the anaemia site and they confused me sligjtly by saying ok but later said ferritin levels are low when a administrator answered. I just want to start supplementing and getting some advice on dosage. Thankyou so much.
