Dear all, I'd very much appreciate help regarding how to calculate transferrin saturation (%) using measured molar concentrations of serum iron and transferrin. I have found an equation, but only in 'lecture notes' and the like on the internet, and I would like to check this out... We are considering adding this in to our iron studies report with serum iron, transferrin and ferritin. Is this in keeping with others out there? Assuming each transferrin molecule can bind two Fe3+ ions transferrin saturation can be calculated ~ Transferrin saturation % = (iron *mol/L x 100)/(transferrin *mol/L x 2) Thank you very much, best wishes, Lou Louise Ward, Clinical Scientist, Bedford ________________________________ ********************************************************************************************* www.bedfordhospital.nhs.uk ********************************************************************************************* This email is confidential and privileged.
