The serum iron level divided by the total iron binding capacity multiplied by 100 gives a transferrin saturation level. Calculated percentages normally range from 15% to 50%. Patients with anemia would have a percentage that is low, while those patients with hemochromatosis would have a high ...
percentage saturation of transferrin with iron is calculated by dividing the serum iron concentration by the TIBC and multiplying by 100. Serum TIBC is low-normal or decreased in association with inflammatory disorders (Feldmanet al., 1981b;Ottenjannet al., 2006;Smith and Cipriano, 1987) and ...
Methods: the efficacy of the management schemes was asses by means of observing the evolution of hemoglobin and ferritine variables as well as the transferrine saturation percentage, safety by looking at reactions to the medication for a period of six months. Métodos: la eficacia de los esquem...
These patients have either normal or high serum ferritin levels, but present a frankly decreased transferrin saturation. It is therefore of paramount importance to screen functional iron deficiency—which usually responds to iron therapy—from the so-called inflammatory iron block, which is insensible ...
In addition to the density of TRs on the tumor cell surface, the efficacy of Tf-toxin conjugate is influenced both by the Tf-iron saturation state and by the presence of free diferric Tf in the tumor microenvironment. The affinity of Tf-Saporin (Tf-SO6) to TR was greatly diminished whe...
Transferrine's saturation coefficient was low in 22.5% of patients, which can be due to martial deprivation or to inflammatory status. These results confirm the limitations of usual biochemical parameters in the diagnosis of iron deficienc...
percentage saturation of plasma transferrin of the sample.The maternal percentage saturation of plasma transferrin has a significant positive correlation with that of the corresponding fetal (cord) sample.There was no significant correlation between maternal and cord free erythrocyte protoporphyrin [FEP]: ...
(Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level, anemia related index [red blood cells deposited (HCT), hemoglobin (Hb), reticulocyte percentage (Ret%)], iron metabolism index [serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation (TSAT),Hepcidin(Hepc)], soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) levels and adverse...
The percentage CDT is independent of the extent of any alcohol-related liver damage except in patients with severe cholestatic liver disease, where reduced clearance may cause a falsely high result. Hepatic failure can cause analytical difficulties in CDT measurement because of low total transferrin ...
The high percentage of retention of the IRP-bound 5xIRE RNA (∼50–70%; see Fig. 5, A and B), suggested that the RNA was “over-protected”, i.e. not only were the IREs protected (only ∼20% of the RNA sequence), but non-IRE sequences were also protected. To assess which...
