Sorry posted accidentally. Doctor gave me this figure with no context or units attached

It's completely meaningless without knowing what test was done/what the units were/any of the context. GP will have all of that information so probably best to ask them.

Yeah it was just receptionist that gave the results. I will have to phone them back I think

27.7 could be ferritin levels, which is like your stored iron - that would probably be considered a normal result by your docs, though ideal is around 70+
