Re: best way to get iron IV / full iron panel first

[Guest guest]

I always get a full iron panel, not just a ferritin, before a series of Venofer

iron IVs.

Yes, I believe it is possible to have too much iron in the blood and still have

low ferritin. (So the full iron panel is really a must before iron IVs). I've

read high blood iron/low ferritin can be caused by low vitamin b12. There are

probably other causes as well.
