Transferriinisaturaatio
Transferriinisaturaatio, often abbreviated as TSAT, is a laboratory test that measures the percentage of transferrin, a protein responsible for transporting iron in the blood, that is saturated with iron. It is a key indicator of iron status in the body and is frequently used in clinical settings to assess and monitor iron deficiency, iron overload, and the effectiveness of iron therapy.
The test is typically performed on a blood sample. Transferrin is synthesized in the liver, and its
A normal transferriinisaturaatio typically ranges from 20% to 50% in adult males and 15% to 45% in
Transferriinisaturaatio is often interpreted in conjunction with other iron-related tests, such as serum iron, ferritin, and
