Normal: 250-400 mcg/dL

Formula:

TSAT (%) = (Serum Iron / TIBC) × 100

>60%High (Iron Overload)

Understanding Iron Saturation

Transferrin saturation (TSAT) measures what percentage of transferrin (the iron transport protein) is bound to iron. It reflects the amount of iron available for red blood cell production and other cellular functions.

TSAT is calculated by dividing serum iron by Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC). Low TSAT suggests iron deficiency, while high TSAT may indicate iron overload. Interpreting TSAT alongside ferritin provides a more complete picture of iron status.
