CRP HS: 4.05 mg/L (Range: < 5)
Iron: 32.68 umol/L (Range: 5.8 - 34.5)
TIBC: 50.58 umol/L (Range: 45 - 72)
UIBC: X 17.9 umol/ L (Range: 22.3 - 61.7)
Transferrin Saturation: X 64.61 % (Range: 20 - 50)
Ferritin: 205 ug/L (Range: 30 - 400)
After seeing those bloods I donated blood immediately. I had some more bloods done two weeks after donating:
CRP HS: 0.33 mg/L (Range: < 5)
Iron: 36.5umol/L (Range: 5.8 - 34.5)
Transferrin Saturation: X 67 % (Range: 20 - 50)
Ferritin: 40 g/L (Range: 30 - 400)
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this iron overload? I’m having a whole host of issues at the moment, including thyroid. TSH is usually 2-3 with low end T3/4 - accompanied with all the usual hypo symptoms. Eyebrows and hair are thinning rapidly.
Is iron overload potentially the root of my issues, or is it simply a manifestation of a larger issue elsewhere? Any advice is appreciated; I can provide my other blood work if required. Thanks!
