Normal iron levels vary depending on age and gender. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a normal blood iron level is between 10 to 30 micromoles per liter. However, different laboratories may have slightly different reference ranges. Here are some common reference ranges for serum iron:
- Males: 50 to 150 mcg/dL (8.95 to 26.85 micromol/L)
- Females: 35 to 145 mcg/dL (6.26 to 25.95 micromol/L)
It's important to note that these are just general ranges and your individual iron levels may vary. If you are concerned about your iron levels, it's best to talk to your doctor.
