It certainly appears to be a legit increase. I didn't mean to imply that there's direct correlation between FE and ANC. Just that as excess iron gets pulled out of the bone marrow by the Exjade, the marrow functions better. What you cannot determine with chelation is where exactly the iron is being chelated from. A small amount chelated from one organ can have a greater benefit than a large amount from all the other organs. You just don't know which organ the iron is negatively impacting and the Exjade cannot target the most stress/damaged organ to chelate it first.
Don't know if that makes any sense, but I would keep on doing what you are doing because that is a good trend.
