What is normal TSAT?

Published in Iron Studies 1 min read

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.
