I think your hematologist will be able to answer your questions better than any of us online. We dont know you, your medical history, your family history, or other relevant workup, and we cant examine you.Its possible theres an underlying chronic disease or inflammation is leading to the low TIBC and high ferritin, but the range of possibilities is so broad that itd be irresponsible for us to start guessing based on this limited information.
is this iron overload? high iron levels abnormal bloodwork32 year old female, white, smoker, 5'9, 125 poundsOver the last few months I have had my iron tested a few times first time iron saturation was 87% now it it 95% (added pics in comments). My diet has been liquids due to health issues. I have consumed 6.5mg to 7mg of iron daily and guarantee it's not more because I'm not on a regular diet. I take 2 ensure drinks, mainly fruit juices, water, gatorade, and occasionally tomato soup or chicken broth. No way have I consumed a dangerous amount of iron. I also have pain in my right upper quadrant that has been going on for months. Last ct scan was "normal" even though it showed mild liver edema. Also have had low platelets 72 to 97 and low wbc 3.1 as well. Hematology appointment set this week. But anyways I would love opinions on this.
