[|Human|] Hello. I am a 65 yr old female, wt, 180, ht 5 7 . I just had my yearly physical and my HGB came back 15.3 and MCH 35.2. All else was in the normal range on my CBC and CMP. My NP wanted some additional labs due to the high HGB. Those came back as follows. Iron 186, TIBC 272 and Transferrin Sat 68. Should I be worried about hemachromatosis/iron overload? Should I start donating blood, or will dietary methods of bringing it down be of help. I eat no red meat, take no iron supplements but eat a lot of kale, spinach, other veggies and fruits. I juice and smoothie every day with green green green! Tomorrow I am having a Hemachromatosis genetic marker test drawn.
[|AI|]  Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  No not looks like hemochromatosis.  But you should go for confirmatory test like genetic marker. Wait for the results.  No need to change in your diet. Just don't take any iron supplements. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
