Iron level and unsaturated iron-binding capacity were measured on all plasma samples, which, for the transferrin-saturation studies, were drawn before the saturating dose, at the end of the ...

Transferrin Saturation (TSAT): A measure of the percentage of transferrin (a protein that transports iron) that is saturated with iron, used to assess iron status. This Nature Research ...

The statement on transferrin saturation (TSAT): “Iron deficiency is present if the TSAT is less than 20%, …” (1) is not correct. Only 0.07% of the total body iron (approximately 0.0035 g of ...

An altered iron status may range in severity from iron depletion (serum ferritin (SF) <35 µg/l, haemoglobin (Hb) >115 g/l, transferrin saturation >16%) to iron deficiency anaemia (SF <12 µg/l, Hb ...
