My wife has been feeling dizzy the past month. She’s usually not one to brush aside issues/symptoms but it was bad enough this time for her to visit urgent care.

They did a blood test and this is the iron panel:

ferritin: 40.2 ng/ml
serum iron: 191 mcg/dl
tibc: 265 mcg/dl
uibc: 74 mcg/d
iron saturation: 72%

The clinic wants to repeat the blood iron panel and do HFE gene testing.

We’ve scheduled a follow-up for 6 days after the first bloodwork. Is this too soon?

Are we taking the right steps?
