Calling all Iron Experts!

Hi all, Have been searching for an example scenario to understand my iron results, but haven't. My iron doesn't seem to be optimal at all (STTM says it should be 110 ish with these ranges) And saturation doesn't seem too good either. Ferritin scraping by;)

Please can someone interpret these:

Total iron 50 (45-160 mcg/dl)

Iron bind capacity 318 (250-450 mcg/dl)

% saturation 91 (20-288 ng/ml)

Ferritin 91 (20-288 ng/ml)

Many thanks, in advance!
