Transferrin saturation. This test measures the percentage of transferrin that is attached to iron. Taking the Tests Some tests require you to stop eating about 12 hours before you give blood. Your health care provider will take a sample from a vein in your arm and send it to a lab. The ...
This study was designed to investigate whether blood lead levels are significantly higher in iron-deficient adults. ID-parameters (haemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, iron-binding saturation, soluble transferrin receptors, washed zinc...

saturation is low in iron deficiency. Similar toserum ferritin, these indices are affected by inflammatory states.Transferrin saturationand serum iron levels are decreased inchronic inflammation(Elsayed et al., 2016;Thomas et al., 2013). The cut-off values of transferrin saturation for the ...
The biochemical indicators included proteins total, albumin, prealbumin, orosomucoid and protein C-reactive (for MPE) as well as hematocrit (Ht), hemoglobin (Hb), serum iron, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation (TS). The prevalence of growth retardation of LSES boys at HA as well as ...
Critically ill preterm and term neonates are at high risk for negative iron balance due to phlebotomy that occurs with frequent laboratory monitoring, and the high iron demand of rapid growth. Understanding the prioritization of iron between red blood ce
Levels of serum iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation fraction and packed cell volume of blood donors in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. Pakistan J Nutri. 2008; 7 :500–2.Akpotuzor J, Isong C, Okpokam O, Etukudo M. Levels of serum iron, total iron binding ...
Iron deficiency was defined by a transferrin saturation (Tsat) ≤ 15% (17) and a ferritin level ≤15 μg/l. Viscosity measurement Venous blood for viscosity assessment was obtained in the early morning, preprandially, and before any significant exertion or planned intervention. Samples were ...
Previous authors reported no differences between male soccer players and control subjects in parameters such as serum Fe, ferritin or transferrin saturation [23]. However, when comparisons are made throughout the sports season on indicators of Fe status, significant changes are observed in hematocrit,...
In these patients, as a consequence of a higher transferrin saturation, a fraction of free iron escapes the specific carrier becoming NTBI. Surprisingly, high levels of NTBI have also been found in pathological conditions in the absence of iron overload: haemolytic anemia, acute coronary syndrome,...
