Guest guest Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 Hi there, I would be sure and watch that ferritin as that is your iron storage. Looks to me (and this is what the hematologist told me) is that your hemaglobin is " stealing " from the storage " warehouse " in order to keep the levels up. Once the " warehouse " is empty, then the hgb starts to fall... just don't let that happen like I did and end up on iron IV three times a week for the past two months. karen B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 Karan, You also want to compare these results with your earlier blood work and see what your trend is. If you are on a downward trend you want to talk to the surgeona bout what to do. Rasley mailto:drasley@...
