TSA

Transferrin saturation, or iron saturation as it is also called, stands for the ratio between P-Iron and P-TIBC (total iron binding capacity). This is measured to give a good overview of the body's iron stores and thus be able to detect any deviations.

A low transferrin saturation can be seen in iron deficiency. If you have an excess of iron (as in, for example, hemochromatosis), an increased transferrin saturation is reported.

Iron saturation can only be calculated if you provide a blood test for iron and ferritin at the same sampling time.

Information

Minerals are non-organic compounds that are used as building blocks to build up parts of the body.

Transferrin saturation
Transferrin saturation measures the amount of iron bound to transferrin in the blood. Together with other markers, transferrin saturation can be used to investigate and monitor iron deficiency/excessive iron absorption.
