Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi Val I'm trying to get an iron IV. My hemo., %, serum iron etc. look good and a doctor said he would only do it if hemogloblin was low. I've been trying to get ferritin up for almost 2 years(heme/nonheme) and it hoovers around 25. I don't seem to respond to thyroid meds. Do you have any idea when to test after a IV? Can ferritin be tested soon after an IV? Also, my son(16) is struggling. His ferritin is 53. That seems pretty low to me. The doctor said he's fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
