Case 2 (Dx): Ferritin 7?! What you are missing about iron deficiency

Our patient presented with shortness of breath, but their lungs and heart were fine. The clue? A ferritin of 7. In this episode, we examine a real-life case of iron deficiency anemia, from diagnosis to its root cause. Learn why a normal reticulocyte count may be abnormally normal, how to interpret iron studies like ferritin and transferrin saturation, and why you should never stop at “iron deficiency.” #AnemiaExplained #IronDeficiency #Ferritin #ClinicalReasoning #MedicalEducation #TransferrinSaturation #InternalMedicine #LabInterpretation #CPSolvers
