Ferritin level and anemia
Hi everyone,
I know many people already asked this question but please bear with me.
I suddenly get fatigue and feel very tired for couple of hours during the day and everything comes back to normal. I get shortness of breath some days- is this a symptom of anemia.
my symptoms does not stay all the time they come and go..
I went to the doctor and he said anemia stays all the time and it doesn't come and go and he said ferritin level 9 (ref range 20 to 300) is normal. Below are my test results.
Do you think i am anemic and its because of Ferritin
hemoglobin- 13.0 g/dL ( normal- 13.2-17.1)
MCHC --- 31.4 g/dl (normal- 32.- 36.0)
IRON binding capacity--429 (normal 250-425mcg/dl)
IRON,Total------139 (normal- 45-175 mcg/dl)
Ferritin----------- 9 ( ref range 20 to 300)
