Patient discussion about normal values

Q. My Iron/TIBC tests normal, Ferritin,Serum = 22. Range 22-322. What is the problem? Iron Bind. Cap. ug/dL 324 range 250 - 450UIBC ug/dL 206 range 150 - 375Iron, Serum ug/dL 118 range 40 - 155Iron Saturation % 36 range 15 - 55Biopsy = Prostate Cancer....PCA high = 10.2PSA now 8.3PSA Ultra W/Serial Monitor ...Ultrasenitive = 8.26A. What makes you think something is not normal? Ferritin values may be low in some people, and iron deficiency is usually defined as ferritin 15. Do you have anemia? Currently, it doesn't seem you have any problem with the iron levels.
Take care,

Q. I would like to compare old cholesterol and today´s cholesterol level. what is the difference? I would greatly appreciate your help in this. A normal value used to be 200 and now it is 4 or 5. Can anybody help.A. Is it possible that the earlier reference range you have is in mg per deciliter (mg/dL) and the new one is in milimoll per liter (mmol/L)?
200 mg/dL worth roughly 5 mmol/L
