Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I just got my labs back and am a little concerned about the iron percentage being high. I found this information on the web and am not sure if this is what is happening with me, even though my ferritin is 62 (up from 38) in January: >Iron overload - This occurs in conditions associated with excessive iron. TIBC tends to decrease while serum iron is high, resulting in a high % sat.> Here is my lab results: Total Iron: 146 (40-160) TIBC: 286 (250-450) % Saturation: 51 (15-50) TSH: <0.01 (0.40 - 4.50) Free T4: 0.3 (0.8 - 1.8) Free T3: 324 (210 - 440) Total T3: 139 (76 - 181) I would appreciate any input about what I should do. I want to keep raising my ferritin but I don't want iron overload! Thank you, ~P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
