How much iron is in human blood?

Published in Human Biology 1 min read

The normal range of iron in human blood varies slightly between males and females.

  • Males: Typically, 50 to 150 mcg/dL (micrograms per deciliter), which is equivalent to 8.95 to 26.85 micromol/L (micromoles per liter).
  • Females: Typically, 35 to 145 mcg/dL (6.26 to 25.95 micromol/L).

It's important to note that these values are reference ranges. The actual amount of iron in an individual's blood can fluctuate based on several factors, including diet, overall health, and certain medical conditions. A blood test is required to determine a person's specific iron level.
