Iron Saturation

Iron
TIBC

Calculate the iron saturation (%) from the ratio between serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC).

Formula:

The percentage saturation of transferrin with iron is calculated by dividing the serum iron concentration by the total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and multiplying by 100.

Interpretation of Saturation Values:

Transferrin saturation, measured as a percentage, helps evaluate iron deficiency, anemia or on the contrary, iron overload (in hemosiderosis, iron poisoning or hemochromatosis):

  • <20% in males, <15% in females – indicates iron deficiency
  • >50% – indicates iron overload or hemochromatosis.
