I had some standard lab tests done recently, mostly because it was something my insurance would pay for as part of preventative care.
The main thing that concerned me was out-of-range serum iron. Result was 185 ug/dL, range was 38 - 169.
What other lab numbers should be considered with serum iron? It doesn't look like I have transferrin or ferritin.
Is it simply an indication that there's too much iron in my system? Blood donation the answer?
Or a symptom in itself, such as from some sort of chronic infection?
