What is a transferrin saturation test?
Transferrin saturation determines an individual’s iron status by using the ratio of serum iron concentration and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) as a percentage. The transferrin saturation test tells us how much iron in the blood is bound to transferrin. A low transferrin saturation usually indicates an iron deficiency, while a high saturation often confirms hemochromatosis.
