Hello! This has bothered me for years, i just can't seem to get an answer. 14 years plant and after 1 year with plant based i saw these changes on bloodwork. I have even seen a hematologist twice and they don't see an issue because the rest of my blood work is perfect. I'm 43 female Take or give a few numbers I range: 156 iron higher end of normal 159 tranferrin (too low)? 233 tibc-low Ferritin is 61 Hemoglobin 13.1 Hematocrit 38.1 Iron saturation 70- high Mcv 103- high Red count 3.78 slightly low What percentage do i fall in for tranferrin? My results doesn't give me a percentage. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you! I was told around the same time that I had pernicious anemia but wasn't properly tested for the IF antibody. Taking 2500 mcg once weekly brought my numbers up greatly. It's just disheartening that I can't figure this out. Your advice would be so appreciated. Thank you!

Is myeloma hereditary?
Very few cases of familial myeloma have been described, but these are extremely rare. It is almost never hereditary.
Thanks sir !
Only a pleasure!
