Iron Test Results - How Can They Be '-'?

I just got my iron level blood results back:

 

Transferrin 3.50 g/L (2-4)

Iron -3 (10-30) 

Transferrin saturation -3% (25-50%) 

(FYI, TTG IGA was >128u/ml) 

What does this mean - how can I have negative amounts of iron? I now have supplements from my GP but I'm just curious about the numbers. 

 

Thanks!

Can't work out how to delete this but I've worked out that the '-' just means below the normal range. Sorry for the spam (although tbf my GP read it wrong too...ugh!)

That's not spam.  Its fine.  I wondered why it had a minus in front of the number, too.

      The Happy Tart review

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      So there was no physical, plastic card involved, correct?

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they had a systems problem around that time.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
