Re: Can someone help decipher these blood test numbers?

[QUOTE=littlej00;5334813]I have slowly become anemic over the years and no cause has been found yet. My numbers keep getting worse with no response to oral or IV iron, and no GI abnormalities of any kind. These are the numbers that came back high/low from my latest blood test:

Hemoglobin = 11.3 (L)
MCV = 75.6 (L)
MCH = 24.0 (L)
MCHC = 31.8 (L)
RDW = 18.0 (H)

Iron, total = 18 (L)
TIBC = 464 (H)
% Saturation = 4 (L)
Ferritin = 1 (L)[/QUOTE]
You must feel awful!!!! My ferritin was negative at one point. Are you eating a diet high in iron? I Started eating cream of wheat or cream of rice in the morning with a hard boiled egg and I think that helped
