[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 77854, member: 972"] I'm suffering from Low iron symptoms and hypothyroid symptoms for the last few years. Low iron is synonymous with hypothyroidism. My ferritin is at the bottom of range and I've been supplementing with iron but it's not doing anything because I'm still hypothyroid (cold in the summer + all the other symptoms). I had an iron panel + ferritin done and was looking at the results hoping to make sense out of it all and saw that it showed my Hemolysis Index 15 (range 0-9) and it states: The Lab results state: [B]The following tests can be adversely affected by hemolysis:[/B] [B]Increase:[/B] Albumin, ALT, AST, CK, Fructosamine, LD, Na, K, Cl, Magnesium, Total protein, Triglycerides, Uric acid. (I have high triglycerides.) [B]Variable:[/B] Direct and total bilirubin, Iron. (My ferritin is very low 54 (50-350) and I used to have very high ferritin.) [B]Decreased:[/B] Alkaline Phosphatase, Amylase, UIBC I've had elevated ALT for sometime so this is probably a result of my hemolysis being too high and possibly the reason I cannot get normal ferritin levels by supplementing iron. I've been taking 175mg iron daily and my ferritin still stays low. Once I got my ferritin to 91 by supplementing iron heavily and I was just starting to feel better but I haven't been able to get there again. I suspect I might need to see a hemotologist about this. My father died of Leukemia when he was 61 yrs old and I'm 60 now so I wonder if this is the beginning of something. Anyone have any ideas? [/QUOTE]
