A member asked:
After having your thyroid removed, can this result in low iron in the bloodstream? or is there another cause for the low iron?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably another : There should not be much blood loss with the surgery. Presumably you are on a stable dose of levothyroxine. A low iron level is probably related to something else.
