GP says my routine bloods are normal. Really?

[NotSoIronMan]

Their guide was that Ferratin levels should be between 15 and 300. Mine were 36.
My serum folate was 3.3 (should range between 2 to 9000).
My b12 was 147 (should be between 120-900)
My vitamin D was 47 (should be 50+).

He said it was satisfactory with no further action, but I could take iron tablets if I wanted to.

I have felt very low in mood and with brain fog etc and he said this is unlikely to be why.
I’m 28.

Surely it’s a bit worrying still?

@lljkk these are the reference ranges in my latest nhs vit d test. There is no mention of optimum, over 50 is deemed sufficient and over 250 possible toxicity.

@NotSoIronMan Hi a bit late to the thread but where did you get your Reverse T3 tested ? Was it on the NHS ?

I guess it's the difference between what's an actual medical issue and more borderline lifestyle choice

I've just had mine tested and the lab range started at 30. I was 32 so don't count as low. I will take supplements anyway of course as we are all told to do in the winter.

Different places have different ranges though so it's not black and white.

The results aren’t going to be different by going private. The intervention may be (whether it is warranted or not)

I mean the GP said take iron if you want to. Folate range doesn't look right to me ?? They vary by lab and changed a little while back - Did you get that range from your own results??
But D is very slightly borderline
B12 normal
None of it is worrying

Oh zombie thread

Well it is black and white if the result falls in the normal for that lab / analyser actually
