I took a ChemChem-20 Chem-7 17 blood test on 3/3/09 and showed elevated Iron levels at 179 UG/DL. I took the same blood test again on 4/7/09 and showed 156 UG/DL. The reference range showed "normalNormal saline flush" between 35 - 150. Both lab results indicated an elevated Iron level. I am 37 with no prior health issues of the liver, blood, or kidneys. I have no other appreciable symptoms. My father did have CLL and Non-hodgkins lymphoma. Please advise.
My suggestion is to also have a ferritin level done as this is the iron storage level of the body.
