A member asked:
Female with hep c. low c3, low iron saturation (11%), normal iron, high tansferrin (3.8 g/l) high tibc 84 umol/l. is this simple anemia or smthg else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anemia: This sounds like the anemia of chronic disease, which would fit in a person with chronic hepatitis C. My advice is to be treated for the Hep C, which is now in many cases quite curable. Good luck.
