Sorry, your iron looks good, as I was looking at the iron/copper ratio but the high ratio was due to copper being low.I think my calcium is high due to the high aluminum. I get more than 2g per day from diet. My vitamin D levels are high, and PTH is on the lower end of the range.
My iron was in range in the nail test, although it can always be lower. I have tested iron saturation multiple times in the last two or 3 years and it was always below 30%.
And it's not just calcium being high, but magnesium and potassium as well.
All these are electrolyte cations. I wonder why sodium isn't high as well. Maybe it's because the body conserves sodium? And wastes potassium, magnesium, and calcium over sodium, as in the case with excreting salts in urine, particularly when excreting out alkalinity from from a body ecf with excess alkalinity, and even when the body is too acidic where the intracellular hydronium (H+) ion interchanges with these alkalinic cations in blood in order to increase the alkalinity of blood, but leaving the blood with high potassium but lacking in hydronic ions.
This results in the kidneys being unable to produce ammonium NH4+ from ammonia and hydronium to form ammonium salts to excrete acidity thru urine. In place of ammonium, what is excreted are potassium or magnesium or calcium salts (which are much less effective in lowering ecf acidity as ammonium salts). E.g. potassium chloride less acidic than ammonium chloride
So the body finds ways to excrete these acidic anions (lactates, chlorides, sulfates, ketoacetates) other than thru urine ( being that it's not enough) and they end up being excreted in other organs of elimination (skin, intestines, lungs (if possible)) and failing to adequately excrete them it turns to excretion thru hair follicles and thru the nails.
I'm just theorizing and speculating here.
I wonder what is the state of your acid base balance. Do you have high serum potassium? Do you have a high heart rate that you could mistake for high metabolism but instead it is the heart muscle having to pump harder because it isn't efficient due to a low calcium ion gradient between the intracellular and extracellular, that arises from high acidity I'm the ecf?
