The "dangerous" iron content in the blood depends, m.in, on the age and sex of the patient.
The norms of iron concentration in the blood are:
- for men - 70-200 mcg/dl
- for women 55-180 mcg/dl
Different standards apply to children and adolescents. Iron levels above normal levels can cause, m.in, iron deposition in other organs.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the interpretation of the obtained results should be undertaken by the physician correlating them, m.in, with the patient's clinical condition. If it is not possible to make an in-person visit, you can take advantage of a teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
