Low UIBC and high serum Iron

2023-01-22 08:55:42
I have been on low ferritin levels issue for months bw 16-24ng/ml but normal iron. Started taking orofer-xt total since a week after testing now my serum iron is high at 272ug/dl, UIBC at 62ug/dl, transferrin saturation high at 81.29%. Do I need to be concerned on above levels or change in medication.
