Hi,
> 1. For calculating Transferrin Saturation / Iron Saturation do you use TIBC or Transferrin measurement?
Transferrin measurement
> 2. If you use Transferrin measurement do you use factor 3.98 or other (if other please state what factor)?
Transferrin Saturation (TS%) = (Iron (umol/L) / Transferrin (g/L)) X 3.98

We use Ferritin. Except for specific cases we don't measure Iron and TIBC or Transferrin.
