    The document discusses several key indicators related to iron levels and red blood cell production in the body. It mentions that iron is important for making heme, which is needed to make hemoglobin. It also explains that hepcidin acts to regulate iron absorption in the intestines and iron release from macrophages. Finally, it lists several measures used to assess iron status and red blood cell production, such as ferritin, total iron binding capacity, mean corpuscular volume, and reticulocyte count.
