Low TIBC with Iron within normal range
Hi,
I recently got some tests done, and the report says that Iron value is 125.3 which is well within range (50-170), where as my TIBC value is 33.9, which is well below the normal range (228-428). (Transferrin saturation is 37)
Can someone please help me understand what this means?
Other concerning values in the report:
RBC Ct: 6.67 (4.20 - 5.20)
MCV: 57.6 (76-99)
MCH: 19.0 (24-39)
I went for tests terrible body ache... and joint pains. I plan on going in for consultation tomorrow, but was hoping get an opinion on what this could mean.
P.S.: Low TIBC, high RBC count, and normal iron, could the report be corrupted? Should I get the tests done again?

It means that your red blood cells are enough but there are many immature cells. I will suggest you to get a peripheral smear done before you go for consultation. It will help in detecting the case.
Next Steps
Peripheral smear
Vitamin D test
Vitamin B12 test
Liver function test
12 hrs fasting is required for the last 3 tests.
