Is iron supplementation ever warranted if ferritin is somewhat low? 30 ng/mL(ref 6-137). No anemia, normal CBC. I know GP needs to guide meds, but curious if low ferritin can cause symptoms. Can B12 injections for def. use up iron stores?
I had a CBC that was normal. 7 days later, start Bactrim for Lyme. 5 days thereafter, CBC shows mild anemia (low: RBC, Hgb, Hematocrit), with normal iron/ferritin. Low Folate, normal MCV. IS THIS FOLATE DEFIC. ANEMIA OR BACTRIM: APLASTIC ANEMIA?
Cbc shows HGB 13.8,HCT 41.7% other values normal.Iron 61,TIBC 356,Iron Sat 17%,Ferritin 113.Is it Iron deficiency Anemia or Anemia of Chronic Disease?
I would like an explanation as to why my ferritin and transferrin saturationlevels are usually low, yet my CBC is normal. Which I dont understand. As my CBC count counteracts the anemia I do have heavy periods. Could that be the reason?
Does normal CBC mean I don't have anemia or shall I still test for ferritin and folate (folic acid)?
