I Was Treated For Extremely Low Iron This Past April/May.
I was treated for extremely low iron this past April/May. I underwent 3 iron infusions. My blood work at midpoint was fine. I just had followup bloodwork done and my levels have gone back done. (Ferritin 13 - 150 ng/mL 3 81 8). The numbers represent the pre-test, mid point and post test. Iron 30 - 150 ug/dL 8 43 14 Iron/total iron binding capacity 16 - 50 % 2 15 4 total iron binding capacity 250 - 450 ug/dL 367 287 316 Frankly, I don't understand what this all means. I just know that the numbers don't look good. Could this issue be the cause of pain that I experience throughout my body? I will be scheduling an appointment with my doctor this week and would like insight prior to the visit. What kind of questions should I ask, treatment should I expect? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
