A member asked:
If hemoglobin is 12.4 and iron saturation is 8, what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incomplete info: What you have described suggests iron deficiency. All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that.
