Not yet. The information you provided suggests you are at risk to develop an iron deficiency anemia. Iron supplementation is advisable to prevent the development of anemia.

Low iron saturation = 11 % Should be 15+. No anemia as other values r normal. Is the saturation low enough to explain why I feel sluggish? Thanks !
Iron 27, TIBC is 437 , Transferin Saturation 6. Does this show Iron Defeciency Anemia? and a reason for some fatigue? should I be taking iron ?
