Is this a normal blood test result for iron?

  1. Or 12.3 as I think it can also be read as

It was 11.2 and I've been taking supplements so does it now sound about where it should be? Google isn't giving me a specific answer

Thanks

I believe over 120 is ‘normal’. IME the transfuse under 80. Sounds like the tablets are doing their job.

Well what did the hcp who did your test say about it?

Is that result the iron level or the haemoglobin level? They aren't the same thing.

Faithinfinity and naicepinapple are correct IF it's haemoglobin level you're talking about, 123 or 12.3 in the old units is fine.

Yes it's definitely the haemoglobin I believe.

Yes in that case 112 would borderline-low and 123 is better and usually regarded as normal.
