I'm gonna try to get my iron down if I can just find some lactoferrin down here in the Southern Hemisphere.
Normal, huh? You're right, that's a new one on me :¬]
That article on iron in kidney disease was pretty scary. It says that over 800 ng, it starts depositing out in the cells. That doesn't do 'em much good, I bet.
Crafty, those Taiwanese. And we could sure use some of their nano-stuff, 'cause if interferon and ribavirin is the best that the drug companies can come up with, the world's HCV+ population is up the proverbial creek...

Nah not too high yet. nornal is 30-300. you are high normal.
OK if it were me I'd like it lower, but you are normal.
Bet you never thought you would hear anyone say that about ya.
Iron Overeload is Iron Overload no matter what disease you have.
NAC is good for tylenol overdose
Does a fair bit more though.
Not Korea Taiwan for the magnets.

} Iron overload, according to the K/DOQI guidelines, may occur in patients who have
} serum ferritins in excess of 800 ng/ml,
Does that mean serum ferretin of 298ng/mL isn't too high yet? That would surprise me, as 300 is apparently the ULN, and gauf says the normal range is 30 to 80. Maybe 800 is the upper limit for kidney disorders?
Re the nano magnets...come on, you're holding out on me, I want that address in Korea where they're producing 'em :] Sure, sure, the FDA doesn't approve nano magnets, but so what? The h*ll with the FDA!
BTW, what is N-Acetyl Cysteine good for?
Mike
Mike - Serum ferretin 298 ng/mL
You have 298 nanograms of ferritin per 1000th of a liter
From http://cjasn.asnjournals dot org/cgi/content/full/1/Supplement_1/S4.
replace “ dot “ with “.”
hopefully Medhelp wont trash the link.
Its about high Iron in Kidney disease and is quite good.
Iron overload, according to the K/DOQI guidelines, may occur in patients who have serum ferritins in excess of 800 ng/ml,
Does that help.
“Mike - CockSparrow's little magnets... if he'll just come across and fess up to where he gets them”
As for the nano magnets you will have to wait for the future for em.
Cracked me up you did.
Oh Yeh NAC= N-Acetyl Cysteine
CS
Trinity4 and GSDgirl have put the fear of phlebotomy into me. I'd rather take lactoferrin, calcium, black and green tea extracts, garlic, and even CockSparrow's little magnets... if he'll just come across and fess up to where he gets them :]
