  2. Transferrin saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transferrin_saturation

    Transferrin saturation (TS), measured as a percentage, is a medical laboratory value. It is the value of serum iron divided by the total iron-binding capacity [1] of the available transferrin, the main protein that binds iron in the blood, this value tells a clinician how much serum iron is bound. For instance, a value of 15% means that 15% of ...

  3. Total iron-binding capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_iron-binding_capacity

    Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) or sometimes transferrin iron-binding capacity is a medical laboratory test that measures the blood's capacity to bind iron with transferrin. [1] Transferrin can bind two atoms of ferric iron (Fe 3+ ) with high affinity.

  4. Iron-deficiency anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-deficiency_anemia

    The percentage of iron saturation (or transferrin saturation index or percent) can be measured by dividing the level of serum iron by total iron binding capacity and is a value that can help to confirm the diagnosis of iron-deficiency anemia; however, other conditions must also be considered, including other types of anemia. [18]

  5. Latent iron deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_Iron_Deficiency

    Serum ferritin falls to less than 20 ng/mL. Increased iron absorption, a compensatory change, results in an increased amount of transferrin and consequently increased iron-binding capacity. [4] Stage 2 – Erythropoiesis is impaired. In spite of an increased level of transferrin, serum iron level is decreased along with transferrin saturation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_tests

    Iron tests are groups of clinical chemistry laboratory blood tests that are used to evaluate body iron stores or the iron level in blood serum. Other terms used for the same tests are iron panel , iron profile , iron indices , iron status or iron studies .

  8. Transferrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transferrin

    The N- and C- terminal sequences are represented by globular lobes and between the two lobes is an iron-binding site. [12] The amino acids which bind the iron ion to the transferrin are identical for both lobes; two tyrosines, one histidine, and one aspartic acid. For the iron ion to bind, an anion is required, preferably carbonate (CO 2− 3 ...
