That looks to be elemental

The problem with these tests is if they are less common (e.g. ferritin vs LDL-C) you don’t have good longitudinal data. My platelet count has bobbed above and below the reference level lower bound for the past 15 years. Same with WBC. So those are probably just benign genetic things. I have never had a clotting issue or unexpected frequency or severity of infections.

Is it the same with the ferritin? Who knows, because I have only ever observed the number twice, both in 2025, and both times low.

When I mentioned rare, i meant rarely ordered for general population. It has been validated with robust data vis a vis target population to differentiate responders vs non responders of iron supplementation. However, the target population is anemic. Since you are not, it needs to be taken with a grain of salt or iron in this case.
