Are these B12/Iron levels normal ?

[Cath860]

Just had first blood tests, 6 months post-op. Couldn't see usual GP. Was told everything normal, but am concerned B12 is not - I'm 171ng/L and the range is given as 140-682. To me that's pretty low?

Also iron is 48ng/L and that range is given as 11-307. Can I ask how that compares to anyone else and should I start taking B12/iron supplements? I'm taking a daily Forceval multi-vit but nothing else.

Thanks!

Your within what they call therapeutic range, so I wouldn't worry at all about your readings. If they thought there was anything to be concerned about, they would have said so and done something about it
