HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The low iron and transferrin saturation are indicative of iron deficiency anemia.

The uric acid is high which can occur in gout.

The other blood result of note is the testosterone which is just below the lower limit.

Your doctor may suggest tests to determine the source of the iron deficiency if it is not already known and iron replacement may be suggested.

If you are symptomatic of gout and low testosterone then treatment can also be started for these conditions.

I hope this helps

Hi!
Your blood test reports indicate
1. Low Iron,low Transferrin saturation both of them point towards Iron deficiency Anaemia which can be easily treated by Iron supplements.
2.Uric acid is slightly raised which most likely
can be hereditary as seen in many people,
may be diet related,
can be due to fasting or
may point towards uric acid disorders.
3.Testosterone is low you need to consult a clinician for this
4.TSH is raised indicating hypothyroidism
5.Vit B12,D are alright
Hope this will help!

Hi,
you are confirmed of having iron deficiency anemia as per your given report.you can continue using iron pills.

Also you have increased serum uric acid levels. so avoid taking excessive meat foods and high protein content diet.
