Hemochromatosis???: Really high iron is a sign of hemochromatosis. I can't advice further since I don't have all the details of your medical history. It is very important that you follow up with your doctor.

My monocyte % has been "high" for over a year now. At 13%, 13.2%, and 12.1% on my past three blood tests. My monocyte count however has been sitting at 800. My iron/ferritin are low as well (Ferr- 16.2). Is this something I should be worried about?
