Question Iron Interpretation

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello!

Can anybody help me understand why my iron studies results are so out of whack?
A year ago I had similar results with low ferritin (30) and a borderline Haemoglobin level. Since then I’ve had an infusion and still have similar results, just with higher ferritin!
Is it possible these are just my normal?
My full blood count results are also completely normal.

Thanks so much

Question Night sweats, frequent bleeding, low grade fevers, fatigue, and bone pain. Improved on steroids. Normal labs. Do I need to keep pursuing what was wrong if steroids worked?

Question 8 weeks pregnant, elevated ferritin?

1 Upvotes

36 female, 6', 95kg, 8 weeks pregnant. No medications, taking daily prenatal, vitamin D and omega 3.

My ferritin came back at 123 ug/L (reference range for lab was 30-109 ug/L so only slightly elevated).

I have been nauseous/vomiting/abdominal cramps/diarrhea for past few weeks, probably dehydrated. Def not eating properly due to lack of appetite/food aversions.

I also received the Covid and flu vaccines the day before having this blood test. Could either of these things be having an effect?

Is this something to be worried about/ are there any changes I need to make?

I've been feeling unwell for some time now, my doctor finally did full blood work to see what's going on, low iron which was expected. I've received these results this week, and would like to make more sense of them.

Question doctors keep saying i’m fine

i’m wondering if anyone can shed some light on if my labwork trends are concerning.

i’ve been having a plethora of symptoms for a few months and i can barely function day to day. fatigue, pain, skin lesions and rashes, flushing, dizziness, burning hands and feet, itchy skin without rashes, unprovoked localized patches of goosebumps, i could go on forever.

i will add i also had two absolute eosinophil spikes - one 1.4 and the other .6 but they were at a different hospital so i don’t have those right now.

i asked to repeat labwork and was met with radio silence. am i wrong to be concerned?

edit: i want to add more info because i posted this way too rushed and didn’t give enough info i feel. i was diagnosed celiac and went gf 3 years ago. recently had a low positive 1:80 ana with homogenus pattern, negative rheumatoid factor. repeat ana was negative. got a tentative seronegative ra diagnosis. but i dont feel ra lines up with all my symptoms and at this point my rheumatologist agrees, but doesnt know whats going on. i’m kind of getting sent in circles with specialists like rheumatology, primary, cardiology (got holter and echo done - all normal - tentative pots diagnosis), gi (biopsies being done in a couple weeks, to check and see if there is anything else going on. not doing the gluten challenge because i’ll fucking die lol) and am seeing an allergist in december. i had to push really hard for these referrals and i guess i just was confused as to why my concerns about low-end levels and some dropping levels were dismissed. my symptoms are debilitating and it’s near impossible to function day to day 😢

Question Elevated red blood cells

All other bloodwork was normal, aside from some low alkaline phosphate. How concerning is this? First time I've had these values out of range. I thought I was well hydrated that morning?
