Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Your DR doesn't understand this. First of all the uibc is the transferrin ferritin ratio. http://www.dclchem.com/SL/UIBC.htm Next the ferritin is still low. You need it double.

A low TIBc/low iron and low or normal ferritin suggests anaemia of chronic disorders -ie the anaemia that goes along with thyroid problems/arthritis/lupus/kidney problems etc etc etc - however the ferritin is suggesting lowered iron stores so it is probably worthwhile taking vitamin c with food to aid absorption of iron and/or a short course of iron tablets -- Alison http://www.alisonashwell.com new work uploaded http://www.artwanted/alisonashwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
