As a result, the percentage of transferrin proteins binding iron increases as the available transferrin becomes more and more saturated with iron. Therefore, an elevated transferrin saturation percentage is highly indicative of iron overload, and may be helpful in the diagnosis and monitoring of hemochromatosis. Transferrin Saturation (TS%) is common lab test that can give us insight into diagnosing hemochromatosis and the state of iron overload in our bodies.
