IRON SATURATION %

Iron Saturation %

Iron Saturation % is a calculated parameter that indicates the percentage of transferrin, a blood protein, bound to iron. It is derived from serum iron and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) values. This test helps assess iron metabolism and diagnose conditions like iron deficiency anemia or iron overload (hemochromatosis). A balanced iron saturation is crucial for healthy red blood cell production and oxygen transport in the body.
