Anemias

Profiling

100

A protein that is mainly produced by the liver. Its main function is to transport iron.

Tranferrin

200

A protein that stores iron in your body.

Ferritin

300

Measurement of the blood's capacity to bind iron with transferrin.

Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC)

400

The percentage of transferrin that is bound to iron.

Transferrin saturation

500

How do you calculate tranferrin Saturation

(serum iron/TIBC) X 100
