[|Human|] Hi! I just got a blood test back and it says (again) that I have hypochromia, but that my iron levels are relatively high (135). I dont understand how this can be, since what my doctor told me that the hypochromia was caused by low iron levels. Any ideas?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Yes, hypothermia is caused by low iron levels. 2. The hypothermia at present could be due to early iron deficiency. Also, it can be seen in chronic diseases or thalassemia.3. Need to know whether it is microcytic hypodermic or normocytic hypodermic. Also, hemoglobin levels, red cell distribution width and reticulocyte count necessary.4. If reticulocycte count is high, thalassemia requires evaluation. If it is low, and after 15 days of iron therapy, if it improves to 3-4%, it is iron deficiency and correction is necessary. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again
