Your transferrin saturation is in the normal range, indicating adequate iron is being carried through your bloodstream to the bone marrow and tissues.
At this critical level, only a tiny fraction of your iron-carrying proteins are loaded with iron. The bone marrow is receiving almost no iron and cannot produce healthy red blood cells. This represents noticeable iron-restricted erythropoiesis.
Seek urgent medical evaluation. IV iron therapy is typically needed at this level, especially if also anemic.
Transferrin Saturation: {{value}} {{unit}} — very low (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Low transferrin saturation means the proteins designed to carry iron in your blood are largely unloaded — a sign that iron stores are low and dietary iron intake or absorption is insufficient. This is a reliable marker of iron deficiency.
Check ferritin to confirm this iron stores are depleted. Increase dietary iron (red meat, dark leafy greens, legumes) and consider supplementation. See your doctor to rule out blood loss or malabsorption.
Transferrin Saturation: {{value}} {{unit}} — below reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Borderline low transferrin saturation is an early sign that iron availability is becoming limited. Fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance may be the first symptoms.
Increase iron-rich foods in your diet. Check ferritin levels for confirmation. Consider supplementation if ferritin is also low.
Transferrin Saturation: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline lowYour transferrin saturation is in the normal range, indicating adequate iron is being carried through your bloodstream to the bone marrow and tissues.
No action needed. Maintain a balanced diet with adequate iron.
Transferrin Saturation: {{value}} {{unit}} — within reference rangeYour transferrin saturation is in the ideal zone, reflecting a healthy balance between iron availability and transport capacity.
Excellent result. No action needed.
Transferrin Saturation: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimalA borderline high transferrin saturation can occur with recent iron supplementation, high dietary iron, or early iron overload. Together with elevated ferritin, it may signal hemochromatosis.
Check ferritin. If also elevated, discuss iron overload risk with your doctor. Avoid additional iron supplementation.
Transferrin Saturation: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline highHigh transferrin saturation (especially above 50–60%) alongside elevated ferritin is the diagnostic hallmark of hereditary hemochromatosis. Excess iron is depositing in organs — liver, heart, joints, and pancreas — causing progressive damage.
See your doctor for genetic testing (HFE gene mutations), liver function tests, and an MRI liver iron study. Early hemochromatosis is completely manageable with regular blood donation (blood removal (a treatment that draws out blood)).
Transferrin Saturation: {{value}} {{unit}} — above reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Very high transferrin saturation means iron is noticeably overloading your transport proteins. Free iron is spilling into tissues and generating toxic free radicals that damage organ cells. This is noticeable iron overload and represents a medical emergency.
Seek urgent medical care. Aggressive blood removal (a treatment that draws out blood) and liver/cardiac iron evaluation are urgently needed. Genetic testing and screening of family members are also important.
