A member asked:
My iron was 43 and saturation was 9.3. should i be concerned. my ferritan and trasferrian was normal.

The iron: Is a little bit low. It would help to know if your rbcs are small (low mcv) or whether you are tending toward anemia (low hgb). Iron level will fall before the other manifestations show up.
