Alert Iron Saturation Measures the percentage of iron bound to transferrin, a protein that transports iron around the body, which is calculated by dividing the serum level of iron by total iron binding capacity (TIBC). Low saturation levels may be a sign of iron deficiency, while high levels may indicate iron overload. Either may be caused by various conditions.LESS

Low ≤ 11 % 7

Iron Measures the level of iron, an essential mineral that is an important component of hemoglobin that serves to carry oxygen throughout the body, so that the body can produce energy.

Normal 27-139 ug/dL 27

Are the results above normal for MPN? I recently had a BMB and am waiting on my results. I was taking a prescription iron supplement at the time of the blood test. My platelet count was 987 and went down to 850 and then 675.

I'm just trying to learn as much as I can.

Thank you.
