My iron count is 1.26 is that low?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not clear.: Patients with absolute iron deficiency (ie, absent iron stores) have a low serum iron, an increased total iron binding capacity (transferrin), and reduced transferrin saturation. The test with the highest sensitivity and specificity is serum ferritin.
