Lab Values for Anemia

katenetMember

It seems that I have always been anemic but lately the labs just look at HGB which is about 12-13.

Today I had different labs done and it showed the Ferritin at 6, Iron at 36 and %saturation at 10.
The chloride is also really low.

Does anyone have any advice. I am going to scream if they say to take iron pills since I am obviously not absorbing them,

You can do iron infusions, if approved.
