Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 I need some advice concerning my iron levels. I am post-op from August '99 and have concerns about these levels; % SAT 14.8 (20-55); iron 74 (60-160); TIBC 500 (250-440); UIBC 426 (240-420). My surgeon's nurse who fields all calls says that it's not significant, but that if I am extremely fatigued (which I am!) I should consider a hematologist for an iron infusion. Anyone out there familiar with this stuff? Thanks! M This message powered by PulseNET's PulseMAIL. -- http://www.PulseNET.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Find out what your ferritin (your iron storage) level is. Mine was 2... zero iron basically. I have been getting iron IV from a hematologist since February. A good thing to do, is find a hematologist - get the referral if you need to. They are the experts.
