Write answer in between .Q:A 63-year-old female enrolls in a research study evaluating the use of iron studies to screen for disease in a population of post-menopausal women. Per study protocol, past medical history and other identifying information is unknown. The patients iron studies return as follows:Serum iron: 200 μgdL normal 50170 μgdLTIBC: 220 μgdL normal 250370 μgdLTransferrin saturation: 91 normal 1550Serum ferritin: 180 μgL normal 15-150 μgLWhich of the following is the most likely cause of these findings?? A: Chronic inflammation, B: Excess iron absorption, C: Iron deficiency, D: Lead poisoning, E: Pregnancy,  <response>: Based on the information provided in the question stem, this patient has elevated serum iron, elevated transferrin saturation, and elevated serum ferritin levels. The total iron binding capacity TIBC is within the normal range. The increased serum iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin indicate that this patient has excess iron. Chronic inflammation and pregnancy can cause mild increases in ferritin, but would not cause the degree of abnormality seen here. Iron deficiency leads to decreased serum iron and ferritin. Lead poisoning can cause elevated ferritin but would not cause the other abnormalities seen here.Therefore, the most likely cause of these lab abnormalities is excess iron absorption.B: Excess iron absorption
