IMO, one of the most interesting things about the new hematology guidelines is that they're likely to get people treatment for symptoms like fatigue or low energy. A lot of doctors consider these "vague" complaints that are hard to diagnose. For some fraction of those cases, low ferritin or iron might be low hanging fruit.
