what percent should iron saturation be
When iron absorption is low from the intestine, it gives rise to a condition called low iron saturation. If the iron absorption is high, it gives rise to high iron saturation. Iron saturation is measured in percentage. The normal iron saturation is 15 to 50% for males and 10 to 45% for females. However the parameters differ from one laboratory to another marginally. Usually your doctor advises three tests together, iron saturation, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and serum iron.
