Hello, Im a 38 year old female and just got my blood test results for iron binding capacity. I have been having very heavy menstrual flows.  Here are the results, but my doctor is not in the office until next week.  Could you give me a general idea of what they might mean?  Thank you.Iron (FE) 35mcg/dLTransferrin 322 mg/dLIron bind capacity 451 mcg/dLSaturation 8
Hello madam welcome to Chat Doctor, regarding your blood values,iron, transferin,transfer in saturation is reduced, and iron binding capacity is increased...this clearly suggests that you are suffering from iron deficiency anemia, because of heavy menstrual loss.first you please consult gynecologist for your heavy menstrual loss.later depending upon your hemoglobin status(you did not mention your hemoglobin status,,,) they will tell you blood transfusion or iron improving medicines. meanwhile eat Jagger fresh leafy vegetables nuts and other iron containing foods.if you are Non-veg try meat also.hope you will satisfy with my suggestion have a speedy recovery thank you Chat Doctor.
