A member asked:
Iron level a 3, doctor doesn't seem phased though. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low iron: Serum level of 3 is not normal- it is low. You should see the normal range that was used as a parameter in the laboratory . For instance- for men: 65 to 176 μg/dl women: 50 to 170 μg/dl newborns: 100 to 250 μg/dl children: 50 to 120 μg/dl what is your ferritin level? You should discuss this with your doctor.
