Below are CBC and iron related values of a 72 yo male.
History of mild IBD but no bleeding had been detected anywhere.
No meds, cholesterol had been low for a while. sugar, HB A1C and kidney markers are fine.
anemia had lasted for several years with great fatigue and multiple iron transfusions.
Recent changes, including a more "peaty" diet, and supplements such as 3 mg copper, micronutrients needed in energy metabolism and choline have resulted in substantially improved energy levels and decrease in RDW but not in higher ferritin, iron and hemoglobin levels.
Can anyone offer insight?
