Brief Answer:
Please send complete report.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
The normal iron levels in children is 50-120 micrograms/dL.
But you mentioned the value (81) only, and you did not mention the measuring units of iron levels.
And I request you to mention the complete iron report in your next follow up query, so that I can try to advise you in a better way.
And serum iron level should be interpreted along with the complete panel of iron studies such as ferritin, transferritin saturation, and total iron binding capacity.
And a fasting blood sample is preferred to measure iron levels accurately.
Therefore I request you to upload the complete iron reports by using the website uploader.
Awaiting for the reports in next query.
Regards.
