Yes: Fasting morning iron lab studies are preferred. Iron levels fluctuate throughout the day, and levels may vary with food intake.

A member asked:
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?
