iron

My blood serum comes elevated most of the times. And my ferritin is stuck since 2017 at 75/80, and I haven't donated since then. I see that is a problem that different people have on TRT. But is having elevated iron serum as bad as having elevated ferritin? is elevated Iron Serum prooxidant...

Hi All, How can I replenish my Iron levels? My doctor wanted my hematocrit to come down from 53 back in the summer time. Its now at 49.3. I did 3 blood donations. One in May 2018, Aug 2018 and Oct 2018. My ferritin was at a score of 17 on my Oct blood tests. At that time the doc said to stop...

My Ferritin tested 5 weeks ago was 14. I donated blood a couple days ago so who knows what it is now. But my Iron was 140. A few years ago when I was donating blood every 3 months I had a Ferritin level of zero. I don't even know how thats possible but the lab said my Ferritin was undetectable...

I have been on TRT now starting year 3. Overall the treatment has been a success, with one caveat many of us suffer with.....polycythemia. I have been on the rollercoaster of phlebotomies every 2-3 months since my start. I have tried dosage reductions to the point I started daily injections...

Hi guys Thyroid or Iron problem? I do have a problem with heart palpitation, anxiety, chest pain, brain fog. Not always, I can be good for a 1-2 months and then it hit me and I'm bad for 1-3 weeks. I have taken "all" the blood tests and had EKG, 24 hour EKG, Ultrasound, and all "good" there. But...

Just curious if a home blood monitor (like this one) is accurate enough to stay on top of HCT. Does anyone use something like this? It's $200 for the unit plus the cartridges...which is the cost of 4 CBC tests (minus the trip to LabCorp).

I decided to take a look at how many times i have donated blood since I started TRT: total of 8 times (whole blood) during a period of 20 months (so approximately once every 10 weeks) to keep HCT in check. Every time you donate whole blood the body loses ~ 250mg of iron. So i lost a total of...

I'm not 100% sure I'm asking this in the correct forum, if not a moderator can move it. On my blood work in October my PCP found that my Iron level was low. I'm not sure how he concluded that from the October CBC Platelet and Differential since I don't see Iron specifically listed. I advised...

Do you also test serum iron levels, TIBC and % saturation? Are all these parameters normal when you ferritin is on/below the low side of normal range?

I have been donating blood every 2/3 months and my ferritin levels are low (11 - range 20-345) but my total iron is high (216 - range 50-180). Other test results below: Iron binding capacity 482 - range 250-425 % saturation 45 - range 15-60 Any comments why is that? If dangerous and how to fix it?
