Blood levels

I know anaemic people have low iron levels, so what is wrong if you have too much iron in your blood?

Yes the post could have stopped, but it didn't.

One thing I do know a very great deal about is Clinical Haematology, and I felt a bit like a dog with a bone.

End of now. Sorry to have been a 'grass'

oh actually can you answer a question when they say they take iron out blood twice a week to try and decrease it, is that like a blood transfusion?

[bednobs]

no, it's like when you give blood. They Take off blood rather than give it to you - venesection. They can also use drugs to bring it down, - chelation therapy but there are problems with this (ie it has to be given overnight via a syringe pump)
