Iron deficiency (ID) is currently defined as a serum ferritin level <100 or 100 to 299 ng/mL with transferrin saturation (TSAT) <20%. Serum ferritin and TSAT are currently used to define absolute and ...

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 ...

Transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2) is a key molecule involved in the regulation of iron homeostasis. Mutations in humans cause type 3 haemochromatosis and a targeted mutation in mice leads to iron overload ...

HH has incomplete penetrance; although a majority of the C282Y homozygotes develop elevated serum ferritin (SF) and transferrin saturation (TS), less than half develop any symptoms and about 28% ...

“Doctors assess your iron status by measuring ferritin and transferrin saturation,” she explains. Your body uses these proteins to store and transport iron around the body. A drop in iron ...

Patients must be blood transfusion dependent and have documented marrow iron stores. If marrow iron stain is unavailable, transferrin saturation must be >20% or serum ferritin >100 ng/mL. Further, ...

These updated guidelines on the management of abnormal liver blood tests have been commissioned by the Clinical Services and Standards Committee (CSSC) of the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) ...

According to data from NHANES, there was no statistically significant correlation between increased serum iron levels and colorectal cancer risk.

19 The ESC and ACC/AHA/HFSA guidelines define ID as a ferritin concentration of <100 μg/l, or 100-300 μg/l plus a transferrin saturation (TSAT) <20%. 20, 21 Notably, impaired hemoglobin synthesis ...
