Members on Connect can’t interpret blood results but we’re able to use our experiences to offer some clarification. So, from my experience total serum iron levels typically range from 26–170 mcg/dL in women. Your daughter at 166 ug/dl is within the range. Her red blood cell distribution width (RDW) at 11.5 is within the typical range of 11.5 - 15%. Ranges for blood test results can vary due to the parameters set at any given laboratory.

Doctor’s tend to look for trends which might indicate a potential issue. So if her tests are run annually, the results will be compared with prior results to see if there are any upward or downward trends in her values. From what you’ve mentioned there doesn’t appear to be any red flags but again, her doctor will consider her overall history and look for any changes or trends from previous years.

I’m sure her doctor will post a followup narrative in her portal after interpreting the results. Did she just receive these on the portal before her doctor had a chance to reply?
