Transferrin_Saturation_Calculator v.1
Transferrin saturation calculator determines the percentage of transferrin available that is bound to the total iron binding capacity in serum.
To calculate the transferrin saturation.
Use to determine the percentage of transferrin available. The percentage saturation of transferrin is calculated as follows: Transferrin Saturation = Serum Iron Concentration / TIBC x 100.
