- The serum iron is low and the total iron binding capacity is usually increased. Patients with low total iron binding capacity have anaemia of chronic disease if the transferrin saturation is ≥16% or iron deficiency along with anaemia of chronic disease if the transferrin saturation is <16%.

transferrin saturation Determined by measuring serum iron and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC): serum iron × 100 = percentage saturation TIBC; helpful in differentiating anemias: a low transferrin saturation is associated with iron deficiency states; high with excess iron.

- Transferrin saturation percentage (TS %) is calculated by dividing serum iron by TIBC, then multiplying by 100. The resulting number is referred to as transferrin saturation percentage (TS %). In people with undiagnosed hemochromatosis, this number is often above 50%, and sometimes even as high as 100%.

- 1 When iron deficiency exists with other forms of microcytic anaemia the transferrin saturation is <16%.  Patients with low ferritin (<12ng/ml) always have iron deficiency. Higher values of ferritin do not exclude iron deficiency particularly in patients with anaemia of chronic disease.

High Transferrin Levels and Iron Deficiency Other tests that check for iron deficiency include: serum iron levels, a direct measurement of iron levels in the body; ferritin, which is the main storage form of iron; and unsaturated iron-binding capacity, which measures the sites in the transferrin molecule not saturated with iron.

- Dysmetabolic Iron Overload Syndrome (DIOS). is characterized by an elevated serum ferritin with a normal transferrin-iron saturation percentage. People with DIOS will likely also have an elevated GGT (liver enzyme) possibly due to a fatty liver. Individuals with DIOS are helped by phlebotomy, diet and exercise.

TIBC, UIBC, and Transferrin Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is most frequently used along with a serum iron test to evaluate people suspected of having either iron deficiency or iron overload. These two tests are used to calculate the transferrin saturation, a more useful indicator of iron status than just iron or TIBC alone.t is customary to test for transferrin (instead of TIBC or UIBC) when evaluating a person's nutritional status or liver function. Because it is made in the liver, transferrin will be low in those with liver disease.

- Total iron binding capacity (TIBC) is a blood test to see if you have too much or too little iron in the blood. Iron moves through the blood attached to a protein called transferrin. This test helps your doctor know how well that protein can carry iron in the blood.

Hemochromatosis Workup Transferrin Saturation. Transferrin saturation corresponds to the ratio of serum iron and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). The screening threshold for hemochromatosis is a fasting transferrin saturation of 45-50%.

Transferrin Transferrin is the main protein in the blood that binds to iron and transports it throughout the body. Transferrin levels rise with iron deficiency and fall in cases of iron overload.Transferrin is also responsible for circadian variation in serum iron (which peaks in the AM).ormally, iron is absorbed from food and transported throughout the body by transferrin, which is produced by the liver. About 70% of the iron is transported to the bone marrow and incorporated into hemoglobin within red blood cells.

- Iron is high, TIBC/transferrin is low, UIBC is low, transferrin saturation is high, and ferritin is high. Iron Poisoning. With iron poisoning, the unsaturated iron binding capacity is low, iron is high, TIBC/transferrin is normal, transferrin saturation is high, and ferritin is normal.

Useful For Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results. Patients with chronic alcoholism may develop abnormally glycosylated transferrin isoforms (ie, carbohydrate deficient transferring: CDT >0.12). CDT results from 0.11 to 0.12 are considered indeterminate.
