High Transferrin, Normal Ferritin - Iron Overload

[meanbreen]

I had a blood test in mid-August.

Ferritin- 116 (30-400)
TIBC 354 (250-450)
UIBC 154 (111-343)
Iron Serum 200 (38-169)
Iron Saturation 56% (15%-55%)
Transferrin (calculated) 56.5% (24%-45%)

Should I donate as soon as possible, or am I making an issue where there is none since my Ferritin is fine? My CBC is not an issue:
RBC: 4.85
Hemoglobin: 14.6
Hematocrit: 44.2

Transferrin tested to 49.7% in June.

I am on TRT/HCG, don't take iron supplements. I do eat red meat quite a bit and drink a decent amount each weekend.

I wouldn't donate blood at them levels, unless you just want to donate blood to help people in need.

Right, I know that looks fine, I am just worried about iron-overload. Maybe iron-chelaters? Or just ignore it.

In my opinion, I would probably wait for now. I would be nice to see if your HCT will rise.

Ok great. It might just be due to me eating too much red meat. I'm going to cut back then re test.
