Transportation. Once absorbed, iron binds to transferrin, a protein in the bloodstream, for transport to various tissues. Storage. Excess iron is stored in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow bound to ferritin, a protein complex. Utilization. Bone marrow continuously releases iron for hemoglobin production in red blood cells.
The transferrin saturation is the ratio of serum iron to the TIBC, expressed as a percentage. Levels fall in both iron deficiency and inflammatory anaemia. The table below summarises the changes in the various laboratory indicies in different disease states: Iron Indices.
6 Ιουν 2022 · Transferrin saturations. Transferrin saturation is the ratio of total serum iron (or the total iron-binding capacity) to transferrin expressed as a percentage. Transferrin is the primary serum iron transporter molecule in the body.
24 Ιουλ 2024 · You can compare your computed transferrin saturation value to the reference ranges listed below: Males: 15-50%; and; Females: 12-45%. Typically in a healthy human, about one-third of all transferrin is saturated with iron ions. This leaves two-thirds of all transferrin binding sites empty as a reserve in the event of increased iron uptake. The ...
Typical Normal Serum Values for Iron, Iron-Binding Capacity, Ferritin, and Transferrin Saturation. Substance. Value. Iron. Men. 75–150 mcg/dL (13–27 micromol/L) Women. 60–140 mcg/dL (11–25 micromol/L) Total iron-binding capacity.
6 Ιαν 2023 · Blood tests. The two key tests to detect iron overload are: Serum transferrin saturation. This test measures the amount of iron bound to the protein transferrin that carries iron in your blood. Transferrin saturation values greater than 45% are considered too high. Serum ferritin. This test measures the amount of iron stored in your liver.
