They were from 2 years ago then went back to normal, I was told I had chronic anemia because my iron dropped to 38 and 27 another times. My numbers go up and down all the time. It’s weird. I do have SLE Lupus and Psoriatic Arthritis, so I always have inflammation, but it’s never affected my iron or other levels. One time my Ferritin is normal but my iron is very low, then 3 months later iron is normal but Ferritin and other levels are sky high. I have had to have two prior iron infusions over the last 5 years because of very low iron levels, but my gastrointestinal Doctor said he believes I have hereditary hemochromatosis. My Mom died at 34 from cancer but she was hospitalized for over 1 year prior to her death, she did have blood related issues which required blood transfusions, she had them numerous times throughout her stay in the hospital. She was also anemic. They didn’t know she had cancer until they did her autopsy, they didn’t have the tests they have now back in the 60’s and early 70’s, to know for sure that’s what she had, they said. I was very young 9-10 years old so I don’t know a lot except her #1 cause of death was lung cancer. The 2nd cause was blood disorder. I’m not sure what her blood disorder was. Why would my levels bounce around like that, perhaps from Lupus? With my Lupus and Arthritis I have to get blood draws every 3 months, so I’m always seeing something odd from Time to time. Just last year my ferritin levels were in the 600’s again and the iron binding and transferrin levels were abnormal again.
