Not 'bad', a warning: What would be 'bad' would be if you actually have hemochromatosis, which will kill you horribly if it's not treated, and it's missed because your physician didn't think to order it. Now all you need is to get this worked up and find the cause and whether treatment is required; if so, it's easy.

It is high: A liver specialist or hematologist should evaluate you. Sometimes hemachromatosis
