Transferrin saturation CDC guidelines for prevention, detection and treatment of iron deficiency
Transferrin saturation indicates the extent to which transferrin has vacant ironbinding sites (e.g., a low transferrin saturation indicates a high proportion of vacant iron-binding sites)
Transferrin saturation (%) =
[serum iron concentration (ug/dL) /
total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) (ug/dL)]
