Abstract
⺠We critically evaluated the diagnostic role of transferrin relying on the available evidences. ⺠Lacking high level evidences limit the role of transferrin saturation in iron deficiency management. ⺠Clinical guidelines recommend the use of transferrin saturation in hemochromatosis management. ⺠Raised transferrin saturation should indicate elevated risk for DM, cancer, and total mortality.
