Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, you appear to be iron deficient and should take oral iron and vitamin supplements.

My blood iron levels show 125, and my test showed normal ranges are 37-145. My UIBC showed 204 value. Normal levels on test said: 40-190. Shall I be concerned? Will continuing to eat iron rich foods be safe? Will food increase to dangerous levels?
