A member asked:
Iron serum was 167 (high), ubic was 109 (low), & iron saturation was 61% (high)... is this hemochromatosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Get test for Ferritin levels for completeness of the work up. Iron high, UIBC low, transferring saturation high, ferritin high: could be hemochromatosis, also consider hemolytic anemia.
