So the last 2 iron,serum tests i had were low. First in range but very low and 2nd a few points outta range low. This is so odd since my rbc's are a tad high and hematocrit and hemoglobin are in a good range. I also eat a ton of red meat and take vit c with it and tons of supps,etc.. i even supplememnted with iron and it didnt help. So i got a special iron test done thats not just iron serum to see whats up. Here are results
Iron Bind Cap(TIBC) result 533 HIGH range 250-450
UIBC result 492 HIGH range 150-375
Iron, Serum resut 41 range 40-155
Iron Saturation result 8% ALERT range 15-55%
so this is weird. Seems like iron serum is on the lower end, iron saturation is low but the other 2 are high. This is odd. Maybe just stop taking iron supps? this is the test i got done that explains the testing
**broken link removed**
also not sure if it matters but the day of the test I didnt take my usual 18mg iron pill.
