Adult man, no known inflammatory disease. Ferritin > 300 ng/mL or TSAT > 45% should prompt hemochromatosis workup.
CRP > 5 mg/L detected. Inflammation context applied automatically — ferritin alone may be misleading when CRP is elevated.
Enter at least your ferritin value above to see which pattern your iron studies match.
Iron stores look adequate.
Stop iron-containing supplements and contact your clinician.
Ferritin and transferrin saturation together at these levels raise concern for hereditary hemochromatosis. Ask about HFE gene testing and a hepatology referral. First-degree relatives may also need screening.

For educational reference only. Reference ranges vary slightly by laboratory and assay — always compare your values to the reference range printed on your own lab report and discuss results with your physician. This tool interprets iron-studies patterns and does not diagnose anemia, hemochromatosis, or any other condition. Iron supplementation in the wrong setting (anemia of chronic disease, hemochromatosis carriers) can be harmful — confirm a true deficiency with your clinician before starting iron.
