Iron Levels And Creat Ratio High. Blood Screening Done. Advise?
I just received my blood levels back from a screening, and it says my iron levels are high (176). I am a 27 yr old female, with no children. It also says by BUN/Creat Ratio is high (22.1) are these connected. I also work midnights and I was awake for approximately 20 hours before the blood was taken... could this have affected my levels?
