TOO MUCH IRON

[Diamando6]

THIS POST HAS BEEN RECENTLY HERE, AND I WANDER IF THERE IS NEED TO DO FLEBOTOMY, before treatment. My Iron load is 27, (and on the scale normal values are 5.5-28.5) which means, I am high on the scale. Any suggestions?

Actually, I am sure that they  also learn a lot from us, and our experiences, which is called, in my country, something like >two way street~, specially with this new drugs. Not all the Doctors,hepatologists, infectologists, etc... had the oportunity , to heal people with new meds, except, some statistics, which is naturally, not the same, like when you deal with real people, and real patients!

I don't know but I know that my iron levels are really high. Much higher than 27

You have the normal amount of iron. There is no need to be concerned about it. High means higher than 28.5, not a high normal. Normal is good. No need for treatment.
