Normal TSAT, or transferrin saturation, refers to the percentage of transferrin, a protein that carries iron in the blood, that is bound to iron. The normal range varies slightly between males and females.
Normal TSAT Ranges:
Gender | Normal Range |
---|---|
Male | 20-50% |
Female | 15-50% |
(Reference: The reference range for transferrin saturation is as follows : Male: 20-50% Female: 15-50%09-Mar-2022)
Therefore, a normal TSAT value for males is generally between 20% and 50%, while for females, it's generally between 15% and 50%. TSAT levels outside of these ranges may indicate iron deficiency or iron overload, requiring further investigation.
