Transferrin iron saturation (TIS)
400 UAH
Blood test for transferrin iron saturation (NTS, Transferrin Saturation) — is a calculated laboratory indicator that reflects the percentage of the transferrin transport protein bound to iron. The test is one of the most accurate criteria for assessing iron metabolism in the body: a decrease in NTR indicates latent or pronounced iron deficiency (iron deficiency anemia), and an increase indicates iron overload (hemochromatosis, repeated blood transfusions, poisoning with iron preparations) or liver damage.
Transferrin iron saturation (TIS): a key indicator of biochemical blood analysis
Transferrin iron saturation (TIS) is an important biochemical blood test indicator that reflects the level of iron available to the body. Measurement of TIS is a necessary component of the diagnosis of anemia and various diseases associated with impaired iron metabolism.
The role of iron in the body
Iron plays a key role in various body functions, including oxygen transport, hemoglobin synthesis, and enzyme production. Inadequate iron levels can lead to anemia and other diseases.
NTZ as an indicator of iron deficiency
Transferrin iron saturation reflects the ratio between available iron and transferrin, a protein, iron-carrying in the blood. Elevated NTZ may indicate iron deficiency, while decreased NTZ may indicate iron excess or impaired iron metabolism.
Application in the diagnosis of anemia
Measurement of NTR is an important element in the diagnosis of anemias of various origins. NTR disorders can be caused by both iron deficiency and diseases that affect its metabolism.
Transferrin iron saturation is an important indicator of biochemical blood analysis, which reflects the state of iron metabolism in the body. Taking this indicator into account helps in the timely detection and treatment of various diseases associated with iron metabolism disorders, in particular anemia.
