Re: Normal Iron Count???

You don't mention which iron count this is--there is a "serum iron" test with normal range 60-170 and a "ferritin" test with normal range 12-200. The second test is considered to be the more accurate one in identifying any who may be iron deficient. Your count would fall well into the normal range for either of these tests. Why are you worried? If your dr said you are anemic it must not be as a result of an iron deficiency if those scores are correct. Even when officially iron deficient one is not necessarily anemic. My iron scores are always absymal but I'm not alway anemic.
