Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

I have a hematologist. He doesn’t seem to care as to the “why”. I am getting iron infusion. My RBCs are above normal, compensating so bone marrow is not the issue. I produced more than normal RBCs. Retic count is high. And RDW. So must be many immature cells. Liver enzymes and bilirubin normal so there is not hemolytic anemia. Just not storing or absorbing iron or using too much to produce all those immature RBC. I eat a very healthy diet. I am going for an endoscopy and colonoscopy again. Had one last year and was normal. Not sure what else to do.

Hi. How are you feeling? My husband has the exact same symptoms, 4 specialists (oncologist, lung surgeon, cardiologist, gastroenterologist) and no answers as to cause. We’ve been told “we are intrigued.” We are trying to find out if this will improve on its own. Two infusions are not helping. No problems prior to vaccines. I will be sharing this forum with all of the doctors. It’s amazing my husband is replicated in page after page in this forum.
