A member asked:
If my iron level is 22 but my hbg is normal and im not anemic, does this still result in iron deffenciancy anemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Iron deficiency is separate from iron deficiency anemia. If iron levels remain low enough for long enough one will develop anemia. If HGB is normal you do not have anemia and therefore do not have iron deficiency anemia.
