I know they are all ‘normal’ but some are low end of the normal range and I feel, as ever, dreadful. MCH for example is the lower end of normal and has been for years, is there a way to improve this? Also lower end of normal for MCV, so smaller red blood cells too.
my ALT is also slightly raised, the lab reference range says it should be <33 and mine is 35, so not hugely raised, but I know low MCH & raised ALT can be linked with anaemia. I have managed to get my ferritin up to 53 by taking 2 lots of iron for the last 6 months (range is 15-300) but is my body able to use all that? Is it worth paying privately (though I can ill afford it) for a TIBC blood test? I constantly get Beaus lines on my nails, I have B12 injections every 3 months.
I’m aware I’m grasping at straws, I’m just desperate. I don’t have a social life, I’m permanently knackered and just never see any improvement.
I am lower end BMI and I don’t drink so why is my ALT raised?
TIA.
