Determine the percentage of transferrin saturated with iron using your lab results for serum iron and TIBC.
Your Transferrin Saturation:
0%
A normal range is typically between 20% and 50%.
Transferrin saturation (TSAT) measures the amount of iron currently bound to transferrin in the blood.
Formula: TSAT = (Serum Iron / TIBC) × 100
TSAT = (Serum Iron / TIBC) × 100
Example: A patient has a Serum Iron of 90 μg/dL and a TIBC of 300 μg/dL.
A low TSAT (below 20%) often suggests iron deficiency, indicating there is more capacity to bind iron than there is iron available.
A high TSAT (above 50%) may indicate iron overload conditions like hemochromatosis or frequent blood transfusions.
