IRON LEVELS

Hi.  I am hypothyroid.  I was wondering if you could give me advice on my iron levels.  I have had a complete hysterectomy so there is no blood loss.  I am a 44 year of female.  


Ferritin 50 (10-291)
Serum iron   30 (35-155)
TIBC   339 (250-450)
UIBC  309 (150-375)
Iron Saturation  9 (15-55) %

So, in your opinion, do I need to take iron supplements.  Hemoglobin is normal.  Are these results iron deficiency?  Thank you so much for your help.

Were your Vitamin B12 levels taken, too? Sometimes the decreased iron levels may vitamin B12 deficiency or you may have low iron due to low iron diet intake. Suggest you speak with your Doctor.
