Iron saturation of above 55-60% is suggestive of haemochromatoisis. 38% is not indicative of iron overload However getting a ferritin done is a good idea and make sure repeat iron tests are done fasting. -- Best regards, Alison http://www.alisonashwell.com mailto:alison.ashwell@... new work uploaded http://www.artwanted.com/alisonashwell http://www.voodoochilli.net/artists/alisonashwell/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
