Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (1043)Comment receiving replies
my ferritin is a 3, almost undetectable. The hematologist gets concerned under 30, normal can be up to 300. It will take month to see the recovery. I will let you know, first iron infusion is Wednesday. And what worse, is I have to go through a prep and endoscopy and colonoscopy to prove there is no internal bleeding. I have no GI pain, no occult blood. So maybe it is the long-haul effect of covid on the gut. Because it affected abdominal symptoms terrible for me for 9 month. But I have been normal now for 9 month and ferritin continues to drop.

I have very similar conditions. 90 days into heavy iron supplements and some improvement , another 90 to go. It takes time to get iron back up. My oncologist believes when iron is back up all other CBC data will get back in line. Did the search for bleeding as well. Good measures regardless. I believe Covid is related to this condition. I have had both Pfizer shots but have data that I was headed down this path before the shots as my Hemoglobin was dropping before the vaccine. I had Covid one year ago this month. Also check B12 mine was very low
