Thank you to everyone that joined the Advances in Iron Treatment Webinar on Monday, June 10, 2013. We would also like to thank Dr. Connor and Dr. Earley for their wonderful presentation and for answering questions at the end.

We also have a handout on Iron and WED/RLS.

What lab tests should your doctor request?
1) serum ferritin,
2 )iron
3) TIBC
4) percent iron saturation

Note from Dr. Earley: For managing WED/RLS with iron we want to get the levels into the mid-upper normal range. At a minimum you want ferritin > 100, TIBC< 350, fasting serum iron > 70 and % iron saturation > 20%. If two or more of these values, do not meet these criteria then I treat with IV iron.

Just wanted to thank you so much for putting on the webinar. Really learned a lot and am excited about the opportunity to see if upping iron helps my RLS. Glad that I contributed to the organization if you are putting forth such great information as last night's webinar. ~ Susan
