A member asked:

My iron level is measured at 39. is this bad? should i go see my doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No appointment neede: This is low normal and is likely to respond to dietary changes and possibly adding a supplement. If it doesn't improve after doing these things or if you have already been treated then you need to seek an appointment.
