Tiredness, Hair Fall. Iron, Thyroid Tests Done. Had Iron Infusion. What Is The Normal Iron Level?

I live in NZ. Is the iron count/recommended levels different for different countries? I had an iron count of 5 in February. Underwent an iron infusion. I didn t feel too bad at the time and not that much noticeable after infusion. Feel a bit tired again. Had iron level tested last week. 17. I am also waiting for thyroid result. My hair has been falling out consistently and now noticeably thinner. What is an acceptable level? Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

The expected range of iron can differ slightly in different countries due to their traditional food habits.

Reference range of serum Iron in female is 7-30umol/L(SI units) or 40-170 ug/dL(traditional units).

As soon as you receive your thyroid reports, consult your physician with reports.

Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic and posting your query.
