-Transferrin is synthesized by liver, It transports iron through the blood to various tissues, such as the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.
-Iron plays many important roles in body, including helping red blood cells carry oxygen to the cells in body. Nearly all the iron in body is normally attached to transferrin
-Normally, body carefully keeps track of iron level and tries to keep it from rising too high or falling too low.
-Our calculator use to equations to calculate transferrin level.
>first equation: TSAT = (Fe / TIBC) × 100 to calculate transferrin saturation using serum iron and total iron binding capacity
>second equation: TF = (Fe / TSAT) × 70.9 to calculate transferrin level using serum iron and transferrin saturation.
