Question: Hello, recently had a follow up with family doctor for bloodwork and found my ferritin was 73 and iron saturation was 93% from about 3 weeks ago. Concerned about the iron saturation and I do have hereditary hemachromatosis. Looking for guidance from a hematologist on if I need to go get a phlebotomy as soon as time permits.
