First glance at your results I thought you had iron deficiency anaemia however your ferritin levels look normal. Have you recently had an iron infusion? If not it looks like it's not straight forward.

Hi. I am not a doctor but it's looks like a diagnostic dilemma. Low iron should be accompanied by low Feritin but your ferritin is fine. No ranges have been included but the results seem to look fine. Hopefully you have been referred to a specialist?
