A member asked:

My serum iron is high at 178 (40-150) and tibc is high normal at 439 (261-478). sometimes both are high. what causes this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Iron: You are likely post-menopausal and are not losing iron through menstrual bleeding. If you have been taking iron supplements, it is time to stop. TIBC being high is not of pathological significance.
