The normal range is 15 – 300 µg/dL. The sensitivity and specificity of the test vary depending on cut-off levels used to define iron deficiency; at a cut-off level of 15µg/L, the test is highly specific for iron deficiency, but lacks sensitivity. At a cur-off level of 100µg/L, the sensitivity increases to 94%, at the expense of specificity (71%).
