The transferrin saturation is the portion of iron that is found in the blood. Transferrin is the protein that has the capacity to bind to iron, which gets travelled around the body and to the bone marrow to produce hemoglobin. Measuring transferrin indicates the level of iron saturation in the blood. The typical value for transferrin is 204–360 milligrams (mg) per deciliter. An amount greater than this determines a low level of iron saturation.
