Laboratory Findings
- Increased ferritin levels
- Decreased total iron-binding capacity
- Hematocrit of about 20-30%
- Serum Iron: High
- High transferrin saturation
- The mean corpuscular volume or MCV is usually normal or slightly increased; although it may occasionally be low, leading to confusion with iron deficiency.[2]
- With lead poisoning, see coarse basophilic stippling of red blood cells on peripheral blood smear
- Specific test: Prussian Blue stain of RBC in marrow. Shows ringed sideroblasts.
- Ringed sideroblasts are seen in the bone marrow.
