Iron levels quaddroopled!! WTF?

[tommy39]

Got blood tests in jan. Cholesterol was high at 228 with the good hdl at 12. This sat. i got checked again at any lab tests. The cholesterol was better 177 with the good at 27. RBC a tad high. Liver was just 10 pts high but my damned iron serum was 251!! its supposedto be 40-155. What the hell? In jan of this year it was 65. I never heard of iron going way up. I dont eat much red meat at all. Alot of chicken egg whites and good whey proteins. My protein levels by the way were 7.5. Good is 6.o to 8.5. So with good protein levels wheres this iron from? I do not take a multi with iron. I am eating much cleaner now than back in Jan. Have any of you heard of this and how dangerous is high iron levels? Does test levels or gear raise iron.

This is a very serious sign of comprimised liver performance.
Increased serum iron happens when the liver cannot metabolize it out of the bloodstream.So even though you may not take so much iron from food you can't metabolize it too.

This happens with a very extensive number of substances.

I suggest you have extensive liver exams alt,ast,cgt,alp .
