Hi,
I'm struggling to find information online about optimal values for iron blood tests for men (I'm 26). For example, some sites say ferritin should be 100+ for men, others say 50-80 is optimal, others say 30-40 etc. Does anyone have reliable information on what is optimal for all iron tests? Here are my lab results:
IRON 120 mcg/dL; (50 - 195 mcg/dL)
TIBC 329 mcg/dL (calc); (250 - 425 mcg/dL (calc))
IRON % SATURATION 36 % (calc); (15 - 60 % (calc))
FERRITIN 43 ng/mL; (20 - 345 ng/mL)
Thanks for your help!
