A 25-year-old woman comes to the office due to fatigue and dizziness for the past several months. She works as a nurse and finds it increasingly difficult to complete her shifts. The patient reports heavy menstrual periods lasting 7-8 days each month. She has no significant medical history and is not on any medications. Blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg and pulse is 75/min.

Which of the following sets of additional laboratory findings is most likely to be seen in this patient? A. Low ferritin, high TIBC, low serum iron B. High ferritin, low TIBC, high serum iron C. Low ferritin, low TIBC, high serum iron D. High ferritin, high TIBC, low serum iron E. Low ferritin, high TIBC, high serum iron Answer and topic summary The answer is A.
